Jemez Valley Middle
Summary:

ZIP code 87024 covers Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, a small rural community served by six schools — three elementary, one middle, and two high schools — enrolling 517 students combined in grades K–12, with nearly every school reporting 100% free/reduced lunch and several schools having their test scores suppressed by the state for privacy.

Enrollment is concentrated and uneven. Jemez Day School is the largest single school at 141 students (K–6), followed by Jemez Valley Elementary at 120 (PK–5) and Jemez Valley High at 103 (9–12), while Walatowa Charter High is smallest at 34. Jemez Valley Public Schools is the dominant provider, operating three schools — Jemez Valley Elementary, Jemez Valley Middle, and Jemez Valley High — with 292 students, about 56.5% of the ZIP code total. Class sizes differ sharply: Walatowa Charter High reports a student-teacher ratio of 2.0 and San Diego Riverside 8.2, against Jemez Valley Middle at 19.7, the highest in the area.

Only two schools show school-level proficiency for 2025–2026. Jemez Valley Elementary posts 35.29% in all-grades Language Arts — above its district but below the state — with math under 20%, and its strongest result is Grade 4 ELA at 47.06%. Jemez Valley Middle reports 29.23% in Language Arts, math under 10%, and Grade 8 Science at 34.62%, the one visible result matching the state. Scores for Jemez Valley High, San Diego Riverside, Walatowa Charter High, and Jemez Day School are suppressed or not shown, which means unknown rather than poor. Graduation rates look stronger: 84.6% at Jemez Valley High and 79.3% at Walatowa Charter High, both near or above the state's 80.6% reference, though from earlier years.
