High Schools in Pecos

Summary:

The Pecos area has only one high school, Pecos High, which serves grades 9-12. With a student enrollment of 150, Pecos High is a relatively small school that faces significant challenges compared to other high schools in New Mexico. The school is ranked 110 out of 131 high schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its performance is below average.

Academically, Pecos High lags behind the state average in both 11th-grade science proficiency (34.29% vs. 41.69%) and 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency (20% vs. 38.44%). The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 78.0%, which is also below the state average. Additionally, Pecos High has a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 45.5, which is significantly higher than the state average and can make it difficult for teachers to provide personalized attention to students.

One notable characteristic of Pecos High is the high percentage of students (95.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This suggests that the students at Pecos High may require additional support and resources to improve their educational outcomes. Despite these challenges, the school has seen a slight improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 111th out of 172 schools in 2023-2024 to 106th out of 170 schools in 2022-2023, which is a positive sign.
