Hatch Valley High

Summary:

Hatch Valley High is a public high school in Hatch, New Mexico, serving around 380 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (over 96%) and a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Hatch Valley High consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In 2022-2023, only 11% of Hatch Valley students were proficient or better in Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38%. The school's 11th-grade proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state averages, with only 21.3% proficient in Language Arts and 8.2% in Mathematics. This places Hatch Valley High in the bottom tier of New Mexico high schools. However, the school has shown improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 75.0% in 2018-2019 to 86.0% in 2021-2022, though still lagging behind the state average.

Interestingly, the performance of different student subgroups at Hatch Valley High varies significantly. Female students generally outperform male students, while Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform significantly worse than their peers. Notably, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students performed exceptionally well, ranking 4th out of 31 New Mexico high schools in 2018-2019. This suggests that targeted interventions and support can help students overcome the challenges faced by the school's predominantly low-income and Hispanic student population.

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.
