As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Incredibly outstanding high school! I was extremely shocked to see ECA is not the number one school in N.M. because it truly is. The academic curriculum is like no other in the state. It has an amazing course offer and the teachers are truly MAGNIFICENT. "This is the place where all teachers want to work. It's like going to Harvard," said one 9th grade English teacher. The teachers there are the best in APS; graduates from the best universities in the nation, including Harvard. If you're a parent, please consider ECA for your student. Give it call and schedule a meeting, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. As a student, I could have not made a better choice into going to ECA. It has definitely been one of the best choices of my life. I would rate it 10 out of 5 stars! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
