High Schools in Cobre

Summary:

Cobre, New Mexico is home to a single high school, Cobre High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and rankings have fluctuated in recent years, ranging from a 3-star rating and 51st statewide ranking in 2024-2025 to a 1-star rating and 135th statewide ranking in 2022-2023. Despite these fluctuations, Cobre High School has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7, which could be a potential strength.

Academically, Cobre High School has seen mixed results, with stronger performance in science proficiency compared to English language arts proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, 54.17% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in NM-ASR/Science, which is higher than the statewide average of 41.69%. However, in the same year, only 34% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT School Day/English Language Arts, which is lower than the statewide average of 38.44%. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving literacy and language arts instruction.

One notable characteristic of Cobre High School is the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which stood at 100% in the 2023-2024 school year. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support and resources. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio could be leveraged to provide more individualized attention and support for students.
