Santa Rosa High

Summary:

Santa Rosa High is a small public high school in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, serving 197 students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 52nd out of 177 New Mexico high schools in 2012-2013 to 119th out of 170 in the current 2022-2023 school year. This indicates a relative decline in performance compared to other high schools in the state.

Santa Rosa High's academic proficiency rates in both Language Arts and Science are significantly lower than the state averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 22% of students were proficient or better in Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38%. Similarly, only 25% were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 34%. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined from a high of 94.1% in 2018-2019 to 79.0% in 2020-2021, which is below the state average. These challenges may be exacerbated by the fact that all students at Santa Rosa High come from low-socioeconomic status households, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced-lunch rate.

When analyzing the performance of different student subgroups at Santa Rosa High, there are notable disparities. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked 138th out of 143 New Mexico high schools for female students, while ranking 80th out of 146 for male students. This suggests that certain subgroups may be facing more significant challenges than others. Addressing these disparities and implementing targeted interventions may be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and outcomes.

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.
