High Schools in Los Lunas

The Los Lunas area of New Mexico is home to three high schools: Los Lunas High, Valencia High, and Century Alt High. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Los Lunas school district.

Among the three high schools, Valencia High stands out as the top performer, ranking 74th out of 131 New Mexico high schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in science and English language arts proficiency for 11th-grade students. In contrast, Century Alt High lags behind, with significantly lower proficiency rates in these subjects compared to the district and state. However, Century Alt High serves a student population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by its high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

Across all three high schools, the four-year graduation rate is consistent at 78.0%. While Los Lunas High and Valencia High perform better than the district and state averages in some academic areas, all three schools struggle with mathematics proficiency for 11th-grade students. Additionally, the high student-teacher ratio at Century Alt High raises concerns about the school's ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students.
