Summary:
Socorro High is the only high school in Socorro Consolidated Schools, serving grades 9–12 to 378 students in Socorro, New Mexico. Because the district operates just one high school, district-level high-school figures for graduation and 11th-grade testing are identical to the school's own results, so everything below describes both the school and the district's high-school profile.
The headline story is a turnaround. Socorro High ranked 129th of 172 New Mexico high schools in 2023–2024 — 25th percentile with 1 star — then climbed to 66th of 131 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 and held at 67th of 132 (49th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, putting it near the state middle. Science is its clearest strength: 11th-grade proficiency was 38.03% in 2025–2026 against state marks of 34.02% (NM Combined) and 34.27% (NM-ASR), and 42.5% in 2024–2025 versus the state's 41.69%. Math, at 13.7%, also edges the state's 12.72% and 12.53%, while English language arts is essentially tied with the state — 36.99% versus 37.07% on SAT School Day and 36.49% versus 36.78% on NM Combined, a big improvement over 2024–2025's 35% versus 38.44%.
The main concern is graduation: the 2024–2025 rate was 75.8%, below the state's 80.6%. That sits oddly beside above-state math and science results, and may reflect attendance, credit-completion or other support factors test scores do not capture. Context matters here — 98.15% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, so nearly every student is economically disadvantaged, which makes the above-state math and science outcomes notable. The student/teacher ratio is a modest 11.9, and the district overall ranks 43rd of 87, at the 51st percentile with 3 stars. In short: a school on the rise with real science and math strengths, still working on getting more students to graduation.
