Summary:
The Pecos area has only one high school, Pecos High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its ranking dropping from 87 out of 177 New Mexico high schools in 2021-2022 to 119 out of 190 in 2023-2024, and it now holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Pecos High struggles, with proficiency rates in both language arts and science significantly lower than the state average. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 26% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34%, and just 29% were proficient in Science, versus the state's 36%. The school's four-year graduation rate is also below average at 76.7%.
Pecos High faces significant challenges, including a very high percentage of students (95.63%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch and an extremely high student-teacher ratio of 140.7 to 1. These factors suggest the school may need additional support and resources to improve student outcomes and provide a quality education to its predominantly disadvantaged student population.
