Best High Schools in New Mexico for Military Connected Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in New Mexico!

Every year, the New Mexico Public Education Department shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Military Connected students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

JUST IN! New Mexico SAT School Day and NM-ASR and NM-MSSA test scores and updated rankings for the 2023-24 school year were recently posted to SchoolDigger!

Year after year, SchoolDigger is always the first to publish New Mexico test scores and rankings. Other sites use stale test score data that are several years old! Be in the know with the very latest performance metrics.
