Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87327


Summary:

The 87327 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all of which are part of the Zuni Public Schools district. Unfortunately, the data shows that these schools are consistently underperforming, with all of them ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in New Mexico and struggling to meet state averages on key metrics like test scores.

The school with the highest overall performance in the area is Shiwi Ts'ana Elementary, which ranked 323 out of 435 New Mexico elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year and had the highest test scores among the schools in the data set. However, even Shiwi Ts'ana's performance is well below the state average, with only 27% proficiency in Language Arts, 17% in Mathematics, and 19% in Science. The other schools, including Zuni High, Zuni Middle, and Twin Buttes Cyber Academy, all have even lower test scores and rankings.

The data also reveals that the student population in these schools is predominantly Native American, ranging from 94.38% at Shiwi Ts'ana Elementary to 98.15% at Zuni High, with very low representation from other racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, all the schools have 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. While the relatively low student-teacher ratios at some of the schools suggest potential for improvement, the overall picture is one of a community facing significant educational challenges that will require targeted interventions and support to address.
