Robertson High

Summary:

Robertson High is a public high school in Las Vegas, New Mexico, serving 402 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Las Vegas City Public Schools district, which is ranked 97 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robertson High has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (91.04%) compared to the nearby West Las Vegas High School (89.97%) and the state average. However, the school consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 25% in Language Arts, 8% in Mathematics, and 32% in Science, compared to the state averages of 38%, 24%, and 34%, respectively. Additionally, while the school's special education students perform relatively well, the school's female, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom quartile of New Mexico high schools.

Robertson High has a 100% free and reduced-lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from low-income families. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.9 to 16.4 over the past three school years, but this has not translated to improved academic performance. Compared to the nearby West Las Vegas High School, which serves a similar student population, Robertson High consistently underperforms in academic proficiency rates and overall school rankings. The school's performance has also declined over the past several years, with its ranking dropping from 69th out of 198 New Mexico high schools in 2013-2014 to 112th out of 170 in 2022-2023.

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.
