Summary

Gallup High is a public high school in Gallup, New Mexico, serving 994 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Gallup-McKinley County Schools district, which is ranked 73 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gallup High consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Mexico high schools, with only 30-34% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in science, 17-20% proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 4-5% proficient or better in mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 73.9% to 79.4% over the past few years, which is below the state average. While Miyamura High School, another public high school in the district, performs significantly better, Middle College High School Charter - Gallup, a public charter school, also outperforms Gallup High in academic performance.

Gallup High's extremely high percentage of students (98-100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to its overall academic underperformance. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 21.8-22.7 may also be a factor. Targeted interventions and support programs, as well as collaboration with higher-performing nearby schools, could be potential strategies to improve Gallup High's outcomes.
