High Schools in Loving

Summary:

The Loving High is the sole high school serving the Loving area in New Mexico. This public school serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 205 students. However, the school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its ranking dropping from 62 out of 170 schools in 2022-2023 to 96 out of 131 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Loving High's academic proficiency rates on state assessments are below the state averages, with only 38.3% of 11th-grade students proficient in NM-ASR/Science and 25% proficient in SAT School Day/English Language Arts. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 78.0% is lower than the state average. These performance issues are concerning, especially given the high percentage (91.71%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention, Loving High's overall performance and ranking suggest that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students in the Loving area have access to a quality education.
