Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87321

Summary:

The 87321 zip code is home to two schools, Ramah High and Ramah Elementary, both part of the Gallup-McKinley City Schools district. These schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, with 59.93% and 62.07% Native American enrollment, respectively. However, both schools face significant academic and socioeconomic challenges.

Ramah High has a mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in Language Arts (33%) and Mathematics (24%) below the state averages, but Science proficiency (42%) exceeding the state average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 67th out of 170 high schools in 2022-2023 to 117th out of 177 in 2021-2022. In contrast, Ramah Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 159th out of 396 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 352nd out of 435 in 2022-2023. The elementary school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages in both Language Arts (18%) and Mathematics (15%) proficiency.

Both Ramah High and Ramah Elementary serve a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, with 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the schools face significant challenges in supporting their students' academic and personal needs. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and developing targeted interventions to improve academic performance could be crucial for the success of these schools and their students.
