Summary

Gallup High is a public high school in Gallup, New Mexico, serving grades 9–12 with 796 students in the Gallup-McKinley City Schools district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 122nd of 132 high schools in the state (8th percentile, 0 stars), while the district ranked 60th of 87 (31st percentile, 2 stars). The school has mostly been in the bottom quartile since 2018–2019, when it reached the 49th percentile. About 81.53% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and its most recent student-teacher ratio was 21.8 in 2023–2024, the highest among nearby schools. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 75.9%, close to the district’s 75.8% but below the state’s 80.6%.

Nearby comparisons highlight the challenge. Same-district Miyamura High School (1,237 students) ranked 83rd of 132 (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, with an 83.5% graduation rate and higher proficiency in every comparable subject. Middle College High School Charter - Gallup (153 students) ranked 45th of 132 (66th percentile, 3 stars) and posted 33.33% in 11th-grade ELA, 54.76% in science, and 51.35% in 2024–2025 SAT ELA. Gallup Central Alternative had a lower 2024–2025 rank (127th of 131, 3rd percentile, 0 stars) and a 56.3% graduation rate, but it is an alternative school, not a direct peer. Wingate High School and Six Directions Indigenous School serve high-poverty populations, but their comparable rank or test data are missing or suppressed.

Test proficiency is low. In 2025–2026 11th-grade assessments, Gallup High scored below district and state in every subject: Language Arts 16.89% vs. 23.96% district and 36.78% state; Mathematics 6.76% vs. 10.66% and 12.72%; Science 20.67% vs. 29.31% and 34.02%; SAT ELA 17.12% vs. 23.98% and 37.07%; and SAT Math 6.85% vs. 10.58% and 12.53%. Subgroup results are uneven: low-income students ranked in the 2nd percentile in 2025–2026, male students in the 2nd percentile, and female students in the 6th percentile, while English learner students were closer to average in 2023–2024 (50th percentile) and 2022–2023 (52nd percentile). Some nearby data are suppressed or bound-only, so unknown values should be treated as unknown. Gallup High needs to raise math and English proficiency, close the gap with Miyamura, and improve low-income results.
