Aldo Leopold Charter
Summary:

Schools in the Aldo Leopold Charter district consist of a single school: Aldo Leopold Charter, a public charter high school in Silver City, New Mexico, serving grades 6–12 with 201 students. Because the school is also its own district, the district values in the data are identical to the school values. Several test-score cells are suppressed by the state and shown as "—"; those values are unknown and should not be read as zero or as evidence of weakness.

Science is the clearest strength: all-grade science proficiency was 61.82% in 2025–2026 versus 33.62% statewide, and 79.55% in 2024–2025 versus 35.14%. English/language arts is consistently above the state as well — 55.07% versus 44.66% in 2025–2026 and 58.57% versus 44.19% the prior year — with 8th grade ELA at 65.38% and 11th grade SAT ELA at 56.67% versus 37.07%. The school holds a 4-star rating in each listed year and ranked 21 of 132 (84th percentile) in 2025–2026, with a district rank of 17 of 87. Its student-teacher ratio is 9.6, 47.26% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the 81.0% graduation rate is 0.4 percentage points above the state's 80.6%.

Mathematics is the relative weakness in the reported data: all-grade math was 21.74% versus 27.85% statewide in 2025–2026, and 22.86% versus 26.81% in 2024–2025. The only reported grade-level math result, 7th grade, is under 20%, below the state's roughly 27% mark. Many math cells — and some ELA cells, including 6th grade ELA, 6th grade math, 8th grade math, 11th grade math, and SAT math — are suppressed, so the math picture is incomplete. With small grade cohorts, year-to-year changes may reflect cohort differences rather than broad trends.
