Summary

Ramah High is a grades 6–12 school in Ramah, NM, serving 269 students as part of Gallup-McKinley City Schools. The district ranks 60th of 87 in New Mexico (31st percentile, 2 stars), but the school has recently outperformed that context: in 2025–2026 it ranked 38th of 132 high schools statewide, the 71st percentile with 4 stars. That is a clear step up from 2 stars in 2021–2022 and 3 stars from 2022–2023 through 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026, Ramah High's all-grade proficiency was above both its district and the state in Language Arts (54.65), Mathematics (38.37), and Science (54.72); state rates were 43.34, 25.54, and 33.40. Eighth grade was especially strong (66.67 Language Arts, 54.17 Mathematics, 58.33 Science), and 11th grade also beat the state in every subject, including SAT School Day. Against nearby schools the gap is wide: Zuni High is in the 5th percentile with 0 stars and reports mostly scores under 10% or in the teens, while Twin Buttes Cyber Academy has no recent rank and largely suppressed test data. The main counterpoint is graduation: Ramah's 72.7% rate in 2024–2025 trails its district (75.8%) and the state (80.6%), and falls below Zuni High's 81.6% despite that school's much lower test scores.

About 75.09% of Ramah High students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025 — high, but lower than Zuni High (99.32%) and Twin Buttes Cyber Academy (100%). Subgroup results are mixed: low-income and English learner students have performed above the median, while other groups sit closer to the middle. Two data notes matter: the reported 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 2.7 is so far below prior years (21.7 and 19.7) that it likely reflects a reporting or definitional change rather than a real class-size gain, and because Ramah High serves grades 6–12 while the comparison schools serve grades 10–12, 11th-grade comparisons are the most reliable.
