Grady High

Summary:

Grady High is a small public high school located in Grady, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 45 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student body is predominantly White (51.11%) and Hispanic (44.44%), with a small percentage of African American (2.22%) and students of two or more races (2.22%).

Grady High has had a fluctuating performance in the statewide rankings over the years, ranking as high as 11th out of 182 New Mexico high schools in 2017-2018 but declining to 81st out of 170 in the current school year. The school has performed particularly well in certain student subgroups, such as male students, White students, and low socioeconomic status students. However, its test scores in Language Arts are lower than the state average, while its Science scores are higher. Grady High also has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 8.7 to 10 students per teacher, the school may be able to provide more personalized attention, but its small size could also limit the range of course offerings and extracurricular activities available.

Nearby San Jon High, located 19.64 miles away, has a similar small student population (20 students) and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (100%). However, San Jon High has an even lower student-teacher ratio of 4.5, which may contribute to its academic performance. The challenges faced by Grady High, such as its fluctuating performance and socioeconomic factors, are not unique to the school, as evidenced by the similarities with San Jon Municipal Schools.

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.
