Summary:

The 87016 zip code is home to a single high school, Estancia High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Estancia District. While the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio, its performance metrics and rankings indicate that it may be underperforming compared to other high schools in the state of New Mexico.

Estancia High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 54th out of 172 schools in 2023-2024 to 99th out of 131 schools in 2024-2025, suggesting a concerning trend of declining performance. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 78.0%, which is below the state average. Additionally, Estancia High School lags behind the state average in both science and English language arts proficiency for 11th-grade students.

The high percentage of students (99.46%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Estancia High School indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This factor may contribute to the school's academic performance and the need for additional resources and support. Despite the potential advantage of a low student-to-teacher ratio, the school's overall performance and rankings suggest that it is not a top-performing high school in the state of New Mexico.
