Summary
Sixth Grade Academy is a public middle school located in Pojoaque, NM, serving 115 students in grade 6. Despite being part of the Pojoaque District, which is ranked 91 out of 128 districts in New Mexico, Sixth Grade Academy has consistently outperformed its district and the state in academic proficiency.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Sixth Grade Academy ranked 38 out of 165 New Mexico middle schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with 48% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA), compared to 39% for the Pojoaque District and the state. In mathematics, Sixth Grade Academy had 26% of students proficient or better, while the Pojoaque District and the state had 14% and 25%, respectively. Additionally, the school performs exceptionally well across various student subgroups, ranking highly for female, male, Hispanic, and white students.
Despite having a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (52.17%), Sixth Grade Academy is able to achieve strong academic performance, particularly for its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups. This suggests the school may have effective strategies in place to support and engage these student populations. However, there is still room for improvement, especially in mathematics proficiency, as the school's 26% proficiency rate is lower than the state average of 25%. By learning from the strategies of higher-performing schools, such as Los Alamos Middle School, Sixth Grade Academy can continue to enhance its educational outcomes and provide an exceptional learning experience for its students.
