Lordsburg High

Summary:

Lordsburg High School is a small public high school in Lordsburg, New Mexico, serving 134 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, making up 88.81% of the student body. While Lordsburg High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and performance over the years, it has generally been in the middle to lower-middle range compared to other high schools in New Mexico, indicating room for improvement.

Lordsburg High's four-year graduation rates have shown some improvement in recent years, increasing from 56.8% in 2017-2018 to 84.0% in 2021-2022. However, the school's graduation rates still lag behind the state average of 76.9% in 2020-2021. Academically, Lordsburg High's proficiency rates in Language Arts and Science have been slightly below the state averages, with 19.4% proficient in Language Arts and 35.5% proficient in Science in 2021-2022, compared to the state averages of 33.1% and 40.2%, respectively.

Lordsburg High School faces challenges related to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This may contribute to the school's academic performance challenges. However, the school's smaller student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 13.3 students per teacher, could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support for students. With targeted interventions and a sustained focus on improvement, Lordsburg High School has the potential to enhance its academic performance and better serve its 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.
