Summary

The Masters Program is a public charter high school located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 250 students. The school is part of the The Masters Program District, which is ranked 23 out of 82 districts in New Mexico and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Masters Program consistently performs well academically, ranking in the top 25-35 high schools in New Mexico over the past several years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 59.38% of students proficient or better in NM-ASR/Science, 56.72% in SAT School Day/English Language Arts, and 20.9% in SAT School Day/Mathematics, all of which are significantly higher than the state averages. The school has also maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 76.7% to 86.9% over the past few years, which is on par with or exceeds the state average. Additionally, The Masters Program performs well across various student subgroups, ranking 23rd out of 143 New Mexico high schools for male students and 25th out of 132 for Hispanic students, both with a 4-star rating.

While The Masters Program outperforms the nearby Capital High School, which is ranked in the bottom third of New Mexico high schools, it faces competition from specialized charter schools in the area, such as the highly-ranked Nm School For The Arts and Mandela International Magnet (Mims), which demonstrate exceptional academic achievement. Additionally, The Masters Program has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to some of the nearby schools, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its academic success.
