Santa Rosa Middle

Summary:

Santa Rosa Middle School is a public middle school in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, serving 110 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Santa Rosa District, which is ranked 57 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Santa Rosa Middle School has shown a mixed performance in academic assessments compared to the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (52%) and Science (47%) were higher than the state averages, but lower in Mathematics (10% vs. 25% statewide). The school has also performed well for specific student subgroups, with Santa Rosa Middle ranking 54 out of 206 New Mexico middle schools for Hispanic students and 31 out of 107 for low-income students in 2023-2024, both with a 4-star rating.

Despite these strengths, the school's overall ranking has fluctuated over the years, with a higher ranking in the past (46 out of 193 in 2012-2013) compared to more recent years (88 out of 235 in 2023-2024). The school's lower proficiency rates in Mathematics compared to the state and district averages may suggest an area for improvement, and the high concentration of students from low-income families (100% free/reduced lunch rate) may influence the school's overall performance and resource needs.

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.
