Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87007

Summary:

The 87007 zip code area is home to two schools - Laguna-Acoma High and Laguna-Acoma Middle, both of which serve a predominantly Native American student population and face significant economic challenges. While these schools have exceptionally low student-teacher ratios, their academic performance lags behind state averages, with proficiency rates well below the norm in core subjects like language arts, math, and science.

Laguna-Acoma High stands out for its extremely high percentage of Native American students at 91.33%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Both Laguna-Acoma High and Laguna-Acoma Middle have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. The low student-teacher ratio at Laguna-Acoma Middle, while unusual, does not seem to be translating into stronger academic performance based on the proficiency data.

Despite the unique challenges faced by these schools, they have consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Mexico schools, with 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that there may be systemic issues in the educational system serving this community that need to be addressed. Understanding the specific needs and barriers faced by the students and families in this area will be crucial in developing effective strategies to support their academic and personal growth.
