Summary

Robertson High School is a public high school in Las Vegas, New Mexico, serving 350 students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of New Mexico high schools over the past decade, typically ranking between 69th and 112th out of around 170-200 high schools statewide, and maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robertson High faces significant challenges, including a lower-than-average 4-year graduation rate ranging from 69% to 78%, and student performance that is significantly below the state average in language arts, math, and science proficiency. The school has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 16.4, suggests potential opportunities for targeted interventions and specialized programming to address the unique needs of the student body.

Robertson High is located less than a mile from West Las Vegas High School, which has similar demographic and performance characteristics. This close proximity of two underperforming schools in the Las Vegas City and West Las Vegas districts suggests a need for a more coordinated, district-wide approach to improving educational outcomes in the Las Vegas area.
