Summary:

Deming High School is a public high school in Deming, New Mexico, serving 1,279 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Deming School District, which is ranked 93 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Deming High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico high schools over the past decade, with its highest ranking being 105 out of 170 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Deming High School consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools in academic proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 35% of Deming High students were proficient or better in science, compared to the state average of 36%. In English Language Arts and Mathematics, Deming High's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state averages, at 19% and 4%, respectively, for 11th-grade students. The school's four-year graduation rate has also been relatively low, ranging from 76.0% to 79.7% over the past few years, which is below the state average. Deming High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing relatively better compared to other subgroups, but still lagging behind the state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Early College High School, which is also part of the Deming School District, significantly outperforms Deming High School across various academic metrics. This suggests that the district may have the capacity to provide a higher-quality education, but the challenges at Deming High School are more pronounced. Additionally, the extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Deming High School, over 99%, indicates that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic performance.

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.
