Summary

Los Lunas High is a grades 9–12 public high school in Los Lunas, New Mexico, serving 1,460 students as part of Los Lunas Public Schools. It ranked 81st of 132 New Mexico high schools in 2025–2026 (39th percentile, 2 stars), a slight recovery after a drop to 88th of 131 the prior year and a recent high of 69th of 172 in 2023–2024. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 81.6%, above the district's 77.2% and the state's 80.6%, and up sharply from 73.1%. All students (100%) qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 19.4.

Among nearby schools, Los Lunas High is generally the stronger traditional high school. It outranks Valencia High (118th of 132) and beats it in 11th-grade ELA, math, and science and on both SAT sections. Century Alt High has a nearly identical rank percentile (40th) but is an alternative school with a 53.5% graduation rate and suppressed math results. Los Lunas High also outranks Rio Grande High, Atrisco Heritage Academy High School, Belen High, Belen Infinity High, and Robert F. Kennedy Charter on most recent measures. South Valley Academy posts a higher graduation rate (92.5%), but its all-grade figures include grades 6–8 and its 11th-grade ELA and science are lower. Its 19.4 student-teacher ratio beats Valencia High's 23.4 and Century Alt High's 38.3, though it is higher than some Albuquerque Public Schools alternatives; Belen High and Belen Infinity High are in neighboring Belen Consolidated Schools.

Math is the clearest weakness: proficiency is about 9% across measures — 9.06% on NM Combined all grades, 8.78% in 11th grade, and 9.29% on SAT math — well below the state. ELA is nearer state averages (35% vs. 43.34% on NM Combined all grades; 35.9% vs. 37.09% on SAT ELA), while 11th-grade science is 26.79% versus 34.02% statewide. Tenth-grade ELA and math were suppressed by the state, and nearby "under 10%" figures are bounds, not zeros. Subgroup rankings, which measure how well a school serves particular populations relative to other schools, are mixed, with low-income students at the 48th percentile. Overall: a large, high-poverty school with a comparatively strong graduation rate but real math and science gaps.
