Summary:
The Hobbs area has only one high school, Hobbs High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and rankings have declined over the past few years, going from a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 1-star rating in 2021-2022. Hobbs High School's test scores are consistently below the state average, particularly in mathematics and language arts.
One key challenge facing Hobbs High School is the high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and could require targeted interventions and support to address the needs of these students.
Despite these challenges, Hobbs High School had a 76.7% four-year graduation rate in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 18.4 is slightly higher than the state average, which could also impact the quality of education and support available to students. Overall, the data suggests that Hobbs High School faces significant obstacles in improving student outcomes and keeping up with the performance of other high schools in the state.
