Summary:

Located in Springer, New Mexico, Springer High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 53 students. The school is part of the Springer District, which is ranked 54 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Springer High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 33rd to 88th out of New Mexico high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied from 4 stars to the current 3 stars. The school has performed well for its Hispanic students, ranking 49th out of 142 New Mexico high schools in 2023-2024, and it has excelled in serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 17th out of 161 New Mexico high schools in 2018-2019. However, the school's performance for male students has been relatively lower, ranking 103rd out of 159 New Mexico high schools in 2021-2022. Springer High's four-year graduation rate has been around 76-79% in recent years, slightly lower than the state average.

Compared to the nearby Maxwell High, which is located about 12 miles away and has a similar enrollment size and student-teacher ratio, Springer High has consistently ranked lower in the statewide rankings and has a lower 4-star rating. In the 2023-2024 school year, Maxwell High's mathematics proficiency rate for 11th graders was 40%, significantly higher than Springer High's 25% proficiency rate. Despite these challenges, Springer High has demonstrated strengths in serving its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students, and the school's small size may offer opportunities for personalized attention and support.

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.
