Questa Junior High

Public Grades 6-8
Summary

Questa Junior High is a public middle school located in Questa, New Mexico, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 56 students. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and performance over the years, but it faces unique challenges due to its high percentage of Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds.

Questa Junior High outperforms the Questa school district and the state of New Mexico in the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science, but it underperforms the state in Mathematics. The school's performance in Language Arts has been relatively consistent, but it has a notable gender gap, with male students outperforming female students. Despite these challenges, Questa Junior High's relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests that there is potential for improvement if the school can address its weaknesses and build on its strengths.

The high percentage of students from low-SES backgrounds at Questa Junior High (100% free/reduced lunch recipients) indicates that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. However, the school's performance in certain subject areas, such as English Language Arts and Science, suggests that there are opportunities for growth and improvement if the school can focus on addressing these challenges and providing a more consistent and equitable educational experience for its students.
