Summary

Pojoaque High is a grades 9–12 school in the Santa Fe, NM area, part of Pojoaque Valley Public Schools, with about 550 students. It serves a high-need population: 100% of students were reported as eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, up from 44.69% in 2023–24—likely a reporting change rather than a sudden poverty spike. The district ranks 71 of 87 in New Mexico, while the high school ranked 88 of 132 in 2025–26 (33rd percentile, 2 stars), up from 121 of 131 in 2024–25 (8th percentile, 0 stars) but still below its 2021–22 peak (56th percentile, 3 stars).

Graduation rate was 82.4% in 2024–25, above the state’s 80.6% and equal to the district rate, though down from 88.7% in 2022–23. In 2025–26, math proficiency was under 10% in all grades and 11th grade; 11th-grade ELA was 30.28% versus the state’s 36.78%, and science was 28.7% versus 34.02%. Compared with nearby schools, Pojoaque’s 33rd percentile is above Capital High (3rd percentile) and Early College Opportunities (12th), but below Monte Del Sol Charter (41st), Santa Fe High (54th), Nm School For The Arts (83rd), Mandela International Magnet (Mims) (95th), and Los Alamos High (96th). Its graduation rate beats Santa Fe High (76.8%) and Early College Opportunities (80.2%), but trails Capital High (83.4%), Monte Del Sol Charter (86.0%), Nm School For The Arts (95.2%), and Los Alamos High (97.1%).

For parents, the key takeaway is that Pojoaque has rebounded from a very low ranking but still has work to do, especially in math. Its graduation rate is a relative bright spot, suggesting the school may support completion better than exam proficiency. The school's effectiveness varies across student groups, with some groups showing stronger relative results than others, so families may want to ask how their child's specific needs are supported. Data limits matter: Desert Sage Academy and Santa Fe Indian School have no test scores here, and several values are bounds, such as under 10% or under 20%, so broad patterns are more reliable than exact gaps.
