Summary:
The 88008 zip code in New Mexico is home to three schools: Santa Teresa High School, Santa Teresa Middle School, and Santa Teresa Elementary School. These schools serve a high-need student population, with all three having a 100% free/reduced lunch rate.
Santa Teresa High School is the highest-ranked of the three, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 79 out of 190 New Mexico high schools. However, the school has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 76.7% and performs below the state average in several key proficiency areas. In contrast, Santa Teresa Middle School and Santa Teresa Elementary School both perform above the Gadsden district average in some proficiency areas, though they still lag behind the state average in others.
Despite the mixed performance, the schools in the 88008 zip code benefit from relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.3 at the elementary school to 17.2 at the high school. This suggests the potential for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients across all three schools indicates that these schools face unique challenges in serving their socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. Targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to improve student learning and achievement in this area.
