Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Jemez Valley High is a public high school located in Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 104 students. The school is part of the Jemez Valley School District, which is ranked 114 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jemez Valley High has seen a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 84th out of 181 high schools in 2018-2019 (3-star rating) to 131st out of 190 high schools in 2023-2024 (2-star rating), indicating a decline in the school's performance relative to other high schools in New Mexico. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 69% to 76.7% over the past few years, which is below the state average. Additionally, Jemez Valley High's proficiency rates in NM-ASR/Science (24%) and SAT School Day/English Language Arts (25%) for the 2023-2024 school year are significantly lower than the state averages of 36% and 34%, respectively. However, the school has performed relatively better in terms of its ranking for Native American students and low socioeconomic status students compared to the overall school ranking, suggesting that it may be providing targeted support for these student populations.

The only nearby school, Walatowa Charter High, is also located in Jemez Pueblo and serves a similar student population. Walatowa Charter High has a slightly higher four-year graduation rate (76.7%) and a lower student-teacher ratio (6.5) compared to Jemez Valley High, which could indicate better academic outcomes and more individualized attention for students. To address the challenges faced by Jemez Valley High, the school and district may need to focus on implementing evidence-based instructional strategies, providing additional academic and social-emotional support for students, and exploring opportunities for collaboration with the Walatowa Charter High or other successful schools in the region.
