Summary

Estancia High is a public high school located in Estancia, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 185 students. The school is part of the Estancia District, which is ranked 56 out of 82 districts in New Mexico and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Estancia High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from 54th to 116th out of New Mexico high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 1 to 4 stars out of 5. In comparison, the nearby Moriarty High School, which is part of the Moriarty-Edgewood District, has a more consistent ranking, typically in the 50s to 80s, and a 3-star rating. Estancia High has shown strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Special Education students, but has struggled with the performance of Hispanic and White students.

Estancia High's four-year graduation rates have been relatively stable, ranging from 76.7% to 82.6% in recent years, which is comparable to Moriarty High's four-year graduation rate of 78.0%. However, Estancia High's proficiency rates in core subjects like Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been below the state averages in recent years. Both Estancia High and Moriarty High serve a predominantly low-income student population, with a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that these schools face significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement.
