Summary

Pecos High is a public high school located in Pecos, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 150 students. The school is part of the Pecos District, which is ranked 77 out of 82 districts in New Mexico and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pecos High consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for standardized tests like NM-ASR/Science and SAT School Day/English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, Pecos High had a 34.29% proficiency rate in NM-ASR/Science for 11th grade, compared to the state average of 41.69%. The school's performance in mathematics is particularly concerning, with only 10.4% of 11th-grade students proficient in NM Combined/Mathematics in 2021-2022, compared to the state average of 15.9%. Pecos High's four-year graduation rates have also fluctuated, ranging from 76.7% in 2022-2023 to 88.4% in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, the nearby charter schools, such as Academy for Technology & Classics, Monte Del Sol Charter, and Mandela International Magnet, consistently outperform Pecos High in academic measures like proficiency rates and statewide rankings. These charter schools also have significantly lower student-teacher ratios and lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting they may have more resources and a more advantaged student population. Addressing the challenges at Pecos High will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique context and the resources available in the surrounding area.
