Summary

Pojoaque High is a public high school located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 593 students. The school is part of the Pojoaque District, which is ranked 79 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pojoaque High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico high schools, with a ranking between 78 and 139 out of 170-198 schools over the past 10 years. The school's SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 1 and 3 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. While the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American students performing relatively well, Hispanic and White students, as well as students with low socioeconomic status and special education students, perform poorly, ranking in the bottom half or third of schools.

Pojoaque High's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state averages, with some subjects having proficiency rates as low as 10%. The school's graduation rates have also been below the state average, ranging from 76.7% to 88.7% over the past few years. However, Pojoaque High outperforms some nearby schools, such as Espanola Valley High, in certain metrics like graduation rates and proficiency in Science. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the relatively high student-teacher ratio at Pojoaque High may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, but the school's performance in certain areas suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and support.
