Summary

Moriarty High is a public high school serving 689 students in grades 9-12 in Moriarty, New Mexico. The school is part of the Moriarty-Edgewood School District, which is ranked 55 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moriarty High has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the state average. In the most recent year, the school had lower proficiency rates than the state in Science (40.16% vs. 41.69%) and English Language Arts (33.61% vs. 38.44%), but a higher proficiency rate in Mathematics (6.56% vs. 12.22%). The school's four-year graduation rates have been relatively stable, ranging from 76.2% to 78.0% over the past few years, which is slightly lower than the state average. Moriarty High serves a diverse student population, with significant representation of Hispanic and White students, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Estancia High, a nearby high school in the Estancia School District, has consistently outperformed Moriarty High on state assessments, particularly in Science and English Language Arts. Additionally, Estancia High has a lower student-to-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. These comparisons suggest that Moriarty High faces some challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and student outcomes, particularly in Mathematics and for certain student subgroups.
