Summary

Pojoaque Intermediate is a grades 4–5 school in Santa Fe, NM, serving 224 students in Pojoaque Valley Public Schools, a district ranked 71st of 87 in New Mexico. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 240th of 346 New Mexico elementary schools — 31st percentile, 2 stars — a modest rebound from 2024–2025 (270th of 345, 22nd percentile, 1 star). That is still well below its 2013–2014 peak of 119th of 442, 73rd percentile, 4 stars.

Academically, the school is split. English language arts is around or above the state average: all-grade ELA was 45.31% on NM Combined and 46.52% on NM-MSSA, versus state rates of 43.34% and 44.66%. Fourth-grade ELA is a strength at 57.14%, about 7 points above the state. Fifth-grade ELA drops to 34.65%, about 7 points below the state. Math is the clear challenge: all-grade math was 15.18% and 15.59%, roughly 10–12 points below the state. Grade 4 math was 15.38% and grade 5 math 15.00%, with fifth-grade math nearly 19 points below the state. Fifth-grade science was 28.16%, slightly below the state’s 31.97%.

The school reports 100% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up from 59.38% in 2023–2024. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 15.2. Nearby Pablo Roybal Elementary, the same-district PK–3 school, shows a similar math pattern: 17.78% math in 2024–2025 and 18.18% in third-grade math in 2025–2026. By contrast, Pinon Elementary and Chamisa Elementary in Los Alamos Public Schools report 6% and 13.29% free/reduced lunch and score 74–77% ELA and 60–77% math. Within its high-poverty Espanola Public Schools peers, Pojoaque Intermediate’s ELA outpaces Hernandez Elementary (32.56%), James Rodriguez Elementary (26.03%), and Tony Quintana Elementary (13.39%), but its math is lower than Hernandez’s 26.19%, slightly higher than James Rodriguez’s 13.7%, and higher than Tony Quintana’s 7.14%. The most promising signal is a 4-star, 81st-percentile effectiveness ranking for Native American students, far above the school’s overall 31st percentile, though that subgroup is small and should be read with caution. The most urgent signal is math.
