Espanola Valley High School is the only high school in the data set, with 869 students.

However, the school serves a high-need population, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, McCurdy Charter School, the only charter school in the area, has slightly better test scores and a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 68.52%.
Among the elementary schools, Hernandez Elementary stands out as the smallest school with only 90 students and the highest percentage of White students at 8.89%. Its test scores are also slightly better than some of the other elementary schools in the area. Overall, the schools in the 87532 zip code serve a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, with all of the traditional public schools having a 100% free/reduced lunch rate. Addressing the unique needs of these students will be crucial in improving academic outcomes for the community.
