Summary

Milagro Middle is a public middle school in Santa Fe, New Mexico, serving 330 students in grades 7-8. While the school is part of the Santa Fe school district, which is ranked 46 out of 82 districts in the state, Milagro Middle's academic performance has consistently lagged behind both the district and state averages.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Milagro Middle's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (39.19%) and Mathematics (15.2%) were significantly lower than the Santa Fe district (42.76% and 24.12%) and the state (44.19% and 26.81%) averages. The school's performance in Science was also below the district and state, with an 8th-grade proficiency rate of 17.16% compared to 33.14% and 34.46%, respectively. Milagro Middle's performance varies across different student subgroups, with particularly concerning results for English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked 105 out of 108 New Mexico middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

While Milagro Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 114 out of 165 New Mexico middle schools in 2023-2024 to 142 out of 192 in 2024-2025.
