Summary:
Pojoaque Valley Public Schools is a five-school district in New Mexico serving roughly 1,500 students in a complete PK–12 feeder pattern: Pablo Roybal Elementary (PK–3, 384 students), Pojoaque Intermediate (4–5, 224), Sixth Grade Academy (grade 6, 79), Pojoaque Middle (7–8, 263), and Pojoaque High (9–12, 550). Every school reports 100% free/reduced lunch, and the district is rated 71st of 87 in New Mexico — 18th percentile, 1 star. That district rating is attached to each school record, so it should be read as district-level context rather than each school's own rating.
There are clear bright spots. Pojoaque Intermediate has the strongest current English language arts results in the district — 45.31% All Grades ELA, above both the district (37.79%) and the state (43.34%) — with 4th grade ELA at 57.14%. Pablo Roybal Elementary has the lowest student/teacher ratio at 14.0 and posted above-state ELA in 2024–2025 (47.78% vs. 44.19%), along with comparatively stronger math results than most district schools. Pojoaque High graduates 82.4% of its students, slightly above the state's 80.6%, and improved from 0 stars to 2 stars.
Math is the district-wide weakness: every school with reported math data falls below the state. Pojoaque Middle has the lowest All Grades math at 7.94% and the highest student/teacher ratio at 19.0, while Pojoaque High's 11th grade math is under 10%. Sixth Grade Academy is a striking contrast — it ranked 38th of 165 with 4 stars in 2023–2024, but its current 6th grade ELA (18.18%) and math (15.7%) are far below state; with only 79 students, results can swing substantially. Science improved at the Middle, Intermediate and High schools, though all remain below state.
