Ramah High

Summary:

Ramah High is a public high school located in Ramah, New Mexico, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 287 students. The school is part of the Gallup-McKinley City Schools district, which is ranked 101 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ramah High has a unique racial makeup, with a high percentage of Native American students (59.93% in 2022-2023) compared to the state average. The school's academic performance is mixed, with students outperforming the state average in science proficiency (42% vs. 34% in 2022-2023) but lagging behind in language arts (33% vs. 38% in 2022-2023) and mathematics (24% vs. 24% in 2022-2023). Ramah High's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking highly for White students (12th out of 157 high schools in 2022-2023) and English Language Learners (9th out of 29 high schools in 2022-2023), but struggling with Native American students (20th out of 42 high schools in 2022-2023) and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (43rd out of 157 high schools in 2022-2023).

Compared to the nearby Zuni High, which is also part of the Zuni Public Schools district, Ramah High outperforms in academic proficiency, particularly in science. However, both schools face significant challenges, with Zuni High ranking 168th out of 170 high schools in the state and receiving a 0-star rating. Ramah High's unique racial composition and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population may require specialized approaches to address their specific needs and improve the school's overall academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
