Summary:
Los Lunas Public Schools is a 16-school district in New Mexico serving roughly 8,200 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade, made up of ten elementaries, two middle schools, three high schools, and one small alternative campus. As a whole the district lands close to the state average, but that single number masks two very different halves: the elementary tier sits almost exactly on the state line in reading and slightly above it in math, while the secondary tier falls far below in math and science. Family income does not separate these schools — every campus reporting a free/reduced lunch rate falls between 99.43% and 100%.
The clearest bright spots are Bosque Farms Elementary (60.59% proficient in reading, 43.64% in math) and Katherine Gallegos Elementary (56.79% and 44.44%), both roughly 17–18 points above the state. Los Lunas Middle is the only school above the state in both subjects, and its math rose 8.2 points in a year. Sundance Elementary and Peralta Elementary are consistently solid. The spread between the strongest and weakest elementary is 32.5 points in reading and 29.1 in math — five elementaries sit at or above the state line, five sit 5–16 points below it.
At the secondary level, math is the biggest problem: Valencia High posts just 4.41% math proficiency and its science dropped from 41.67% to 19.15% in one year, while Los Lunas High sits at 9.06% math yet graduates 81.6% of students — above the state. Desert View Elementary has the lowest reading (28.08%) and Tome Elementary the lowest math (15.34%), though both improved this year. Century Alt High graduates only 53.5%, and its math results, along with Los Lunas High's 10th-grade figures, are suppressed by the state, so those remain unknown.
