Cobre High

Summary:

Cobre High School is a public high school located in Bayard, New Mexico, serving 276 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Cobre Consolidated Schools district, which is ranked 82 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cobre High stands out from nearby schools like Silver High and Aldo Leopold Charter in several key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students, consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for core subjects, and has a low statewide ranking, placing between 114-135 out of 170-177 New Mexico high schools in recent years. Cobre High's performance is particularly low for female students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with rankings in the bottom third of New Mexico high schools for these subgroups.

The nearby Aldo Leopold Charter School significantly outperforms Cobre High across multiple metrics, highlighting the potential impact of school choice and alternative educational models in the region. Cobre High's low performance, particularly in Mathematics, presents an opportunity for the school and Cobre Consolidated Schools district to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in core academic areas.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
