Summary

Estancia High is a small public high school in Estancia, NM, serving grades 9–12 with 184 students in a community where every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. The school belongs to Estancia Municipal Schools, a district ranked 40th of 87 statewide (54th percentile, 3 stars). In 2025–2026, Estancia High ranked 39th of 132 New Mexico high schools (70th percentile, 4 stars) — a dramatic one-year rebound from 2024–2025, when it placed 99th of 131 (24th percentile, 1 star).

Compared with Moriarty High, the only nearby school in this data (15.66 miles away, 671 students), Estancia is much smaller but earned the stronger overall rating: 70th percentile, 4 stars versus Moriarty's 60th percentile, 3 stars. Estancia's 2024–2025 graduation rate of 84.5% topped both the state's 80.6% and Moriarty's 69.6%. Science is the clearest academic strength: 55.88% of 11th graders were proficient, well above the state's 34.02% and Moriarty's 46.67%. Moriarty scored higher in English language arts (46.67% versus 41.18%), though Estancia still beat the state there. Math is the uncertainty — several Estancia math results were reported only as under 20%, and its all-grade math was under 20% while the state was 25.54% and the district 30.2%.

Overall, Estancia has exceeded the state graduation rate in every reported year and improved sharply in ELA, from 29.79% in 2024–2025 to 41.18% in 2025–2026. Math is the area to watch. Results for low-income students were strong in 2025–2026 (81st percentile, 4 stars), but subgroup results swing considerably from year to year, likely because those groups are small. With only one nearby school to compare and math scores given as a bound, treat these numbers as encouraging but not precise.
