Summary:
The 87013 zip code area in New Mexico is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. These schools serve a predominantly Native American and Hispanic student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage reflected in the extremely high free and reduced-price lunch rates across the district.
Among the standout schools in this area, Tse Yi Gai High stands out with the highest statewide ranking, a 1-star rating, and the lowest student-teacher ratio of 4.8, suggesting more individualized attention for students. The two elementary/middle schools, Na' Neelzhiin Ji'Olta and Pueblo Pintado Community School, have a 100% Native American student population, indicating a strong focus on serving the local indigenous community. While Lybrook Elementary has consistently ranked near the bottom of New Mexico elementary schools, it has a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, which could be beneficial for students.
The overall academic performance of these schools is concerning, with test scores significantly below the statewide averages. For example, Cuba Elementary has only 5% of students proficient or better in Language Arts and 3% in Mathematics, compared to the statewide averages of 38% and 24%, respectively. This pattern of low academic performance, coupled with the high poverty levels in the area, highlights the need for significant interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the local community served by the Cuba Independent Schools, Ojo Encino Day School, Na' Neelzhiin Ji'Olta, Pueblo Pintado Community School, Jemez Mountain Public Schools, and Gallup-McKinley City Schools.
