Jemez Valley High

Summary:

Jemez Valley High is a public high school located in Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 104 students. The school is part of the Jemez Valley School District, which is ranked 114 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jemez Valley High has seen a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 84th out of 181 high schools in 2018-2019 (3-star rating) to 131st out of 190 high schools in 2023-2024 (2-star rating), indicating a decline in the school's performance relative to other high schools in New Mexico. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 69% to 76.7% over the past few years, which is below the state average. Additionally, Jemez Valley High's proficiency rates in NM-ASR/Science (24%) and SAT School Day/English Language Arts (25%) for the 2023-2024 school year are significantly lower than the state averages of 36% and 34%, respectively. However, the school has performed relatively better in terms of its ranking for Native American students and low socioeconomic status students compared to the overall school ranking, suggesting that it may be providing targeted support for these student populations.

The only nearby school, Walatowa Charter High, is also located in Jemez Pueblo and serves a similar student population. Walatowa Charter High has a slightly higher four-year graduation rate (76.7%) and a lower student-teacher ratio (6.5) compared to Jemez Valley High, which could indicate better academic outcomes and more individualized attention for students. To address the challenges faced by Jemez Valley High, the school and district may need to focus on implementing evidence-based instructional strategies, providing additional academic and social-emotional support for students, and exploring opportunities for collaboration with the Walatowa Charter High or other successful schools in the region.

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.
