Aztec

The Aztec Municipal Schools district in New Mexico serves a diverse student population across 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this district face economic challenges, with all students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, but some standout schools and metrics emerge from the data.

Lydia Rippey Elementary stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.9) among the elementary schools, potentially indicating more individualized attention for students. In contrast, Mosaic Academy Charter has the highest student-teacher ratio (19.5) but also the highest percentage of white students (71.67%) compared to the other schools. The district's highest-ranked school is Vista Nueva High, which ranks 63rd out of 170 New Mexico high schools.

While the Aztec Municipal Schools district maintains a consistent 3-star rating, there are some concerning trends, such as the declining ranking of Aztec High from 77th to 86th out of high schools in the state. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch across all schools in the district suggest significant economic challenges faced by the student population, which could impact academic performance and resource allocation.
