Summary:
The Pojoaque area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals some standout schools, as well as areas for improvement across the district.
The Sixth Grade Academy stands out as the highest-performing school, with the best proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (48%) and Mathematics (26%) compared to the other Pojoaque schools and the state average. This could be attributed to the school's focus on 6th-grade students and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.5. Meanwhile, Pablo Roybal Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (41%) among the Pojoaque elementary schools, matching the state average, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.9.
However, the district faces some challenges. Pojoaque High School has a 76.7% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average. Across the Pojoaque schools, proficiency rates in Mathematics are significantly lower than the state average, ranging from 6% to 26%. Additionally, all Pojoaque schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.25% to 68.98%, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic performance. The Pojoaque district has an opportunity to focus on improving math education and addressing the socioeconomic factors that may be influencing student outcomes.
