Summary:
Santa Rosa Consolidated Schools contains a single high school, Santa Rosa High, serving grades 9–12 at 717 3rd St in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, with 193 students. Because it is the district's only high school, many 11th-grade results are identical for the school and the district. Nearly all students are economically disadvantaged, with free/reduced lunch at 98.96%, and the student/teacher ratio is comparatively low at 8.5 students per teacher. The small enrollment means year-to-year percentages can swing noticeably, so trends matter more than any single year.
The clearest bright spot is graduation: 91.7% in 2024–25, the same as the district and 11.1 percentage points above the state's 80.6%. That is a strong signal, especially alongside such a high poverty rate. The low student/teacher ratio and small school setting may allow more individual attention. So far, however, that has not shown up in test scores.
Academics are the main concern. Every reported math result is under 5% — not zero and not missing, but below 5% — while state math proficiency is 25.54% on NM Combined all grades, 12.72% for 11th grade, and about 12.5% on SAT School Day. In 2025–26, 11th-grade ELA is 22.44% on NM Combined and 22.58% on SAT School Day, roughly 14–15 points below state; science is 19.23% on NM Combined and 19.35% on NM-ASR, about 15 points below. Two different exams tell the same story, so the gap is unlikely to be a single-test quirk. Relative rank has also slipped, with percentile falling from 23 to 19 to 6; the latest rank is 124th of 132 with 0 stars. The district overall ranks 77th of 87, 11th percentile, 1 star.
