Summary:
The Grants, New Mexico school district consists of 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 66 out of 82 in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
A few schools stand out in the district. Bluewater Elementary, a small school with only 68 students, has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating and significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages. Cubero Elementary is another high-performing elementary school with a 3-4 star rating and strong Mathematics scores. At the high school level, Gccs Early College High School has a 4-star rating and ranks 31st out of 177 high schools in the state.
However, the district faces significant challenges, with wide disparities in academic achievement between the highest and lowest performing schools. Graduation rates at the high schools are around 78%, below the state average. Most schools have very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Addressing these issues of poverty and its impacts on learning will be crucial for improving outcomes across the Grants school district.
