Riotech

Riotech is a high school in Rio Rancho, NM, serving grades 10–12 in Rio Rancho Public Schools; its reported enrollment is 0, which appears to be a reporting artifact rather than a real student count, so families should not use it to compare school size or resources.

Riotech ranked 51st of 132 New Mexico high schools in 2025–2026, the 61st percentile with 3 stars, while Rio Rancho Public Schools ranked 29th of 87 districts, the 67th percentile with 3 stars. In 11th-grade tests, 47.83% met proficiency in language arts, 15.22% in math, and 43.48% in science. Those results are above New Mexico averages but below district averages, with the largest district gaps in science and language arts; math is the weakest subject, still above the state average but well below reading and science. Nearby comparisons are mixed: Cleveland High School and Rio Rancho High outperform Riotech in all three subjects, and Rio Rancho Cyber Academy is far higher in language arts and science, though its math result is suppressed. Riotech is ahead of Cibola High in language arts and science but slightly behind in math. It is far above Bernalillo High, whose results are very low, and above Independence High School in science, though Independence High School's language arts and math are reported only as under 20%. Meanwhile, Cottonwood Classical Prep, The Ask Academy, and La Cueva High post much higher proficiency across subjects; Health Leadership High School's scores are reported only as under 20% in all areas.

The most distinctive finding is subgroup performance: Riotech ranks 10th of 89 schools for low-socioeconomic-status students (89th percentile, 4 stars) and 28th of 100 for male students (72nd percentile, 4 stars), both higher than its overall rank. Missing data limits a full picture, however: no graduation rate, free/reduced lunch percentage, or student-teacher ratio is reported, and there is only one year of rank history. Families should treat comparisons to large comprehensive and charter/magnet schools as directional. Bottom line: Riotech is an above-state-average, below-district-average school with a middle-tier statewide rank and notable comparative strength for low-income and male students.
