High Schools in Roswell

Summary:

The Roswell school district in New Mexico is home to 4 high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. The district as a whole is ranked 49 out of 82 districts in the state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement.

Among the high schools, Early College High School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 33 high schools in New Mexico with a 4-star rating. The school significantly outperforms the district and state averages in 11th grade test scores, particularly in English language arts, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.6. Goddard High School also performs well, ranking among the top 77 high schools in the state with a 3-star rating and outperforming the district and state in science and English language arts test scores.

In contrast, Roswell High School and University High School lag behind the district and state averages in all three subject areas tested. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all four high schools, 100%, highlights the significant economic challenges faced by the Roswell community, which may be a contributing factor to the overall lower academic performance observed in some of the schools.
