High Schools in Grady

The Grady Municipal Schools district in New Mexico has only one high school, Grady High, which serves a small student population of 45 students. The school's student body is predominantly White and Hispanic, with a high percentage of students (100%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages.

While Grady High previously performed well, ranking as high as 11th out of 182 New Mexico high schools in 2017-2018 with a 5-star rating, the school's performance has declined in recent years. In the 2022-2023 school year, Grady High ranked 81st out of 170 high schools and received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in language arts (27%) are lower than the statewide average (38%), but its science proficiency rate (36%) is higher than the state average (34%).

Despite the challenges, Grady High's small student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1 may be a strength, potentially allowing for more personalized attention and support for students. However, the school's declining performance and the significant economic disadvantages faced by its student population suggest that the Grady Municipal Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and additional resources to help Grady High improve its academic standards and support student success.
