Corona High

Summary:

Corona High is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in the rural town of Corona, New Mexico, with a total enrollment of just 29 students. Despite its small size, this school consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, delivering exceptional academic performance and supporting a diverse student population.

Corona High's academic achievements are truly impressive. The school consistently ranks between 17th and 36th out of all high schools in New Mexico, with significantly higher proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and particularly Science, where 71% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 36%. The school also maintains high graduation rates, ranging from 76% to 94% over the past few years, outperforming the state average. Additionally, Corona High's strong performance extends across different student subgroups, including male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, demonstrating a commitment to equity and inclusion.

One of the key factors contributing to Corona High's success is its small school environment, with a very low student-teacher ratio ranging from 3.5 to 5 students per teacher over the past three years. This allows for personalized attention and support, fostering a strong sense of community and enabling students to thrive. With no other schools within 20 miles, Corona District, which Corona High is a part of, is ranked 12th out of 119 districts in New Mexico and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, further underscoring the exceptional educational opportunities available to students in this rural community.

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.
