Summary:

The 87455 zip code area in New Mexico is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data suggests that these schools are generally underperforming, with most ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.

Newcomb High has a 78.0% four-year graduation rate, but its proficiency rates in science and English Language Arts are lower than the district and state averages. Newcomb Elementary, on the other hand, outperformed the district and state in English Language Arts test scores for grades 3-5. However, Newcomb Middle had lower English Language Arts proficiency rates compared to the district and state.

The high free/reduced lunch rates across the schools, ranging from 65.78% at Newcomb Elementary to 98.26% at Newcomb High, indicate that the student population in this area is predominantly from low-income households, which can present additional challenges for the schools. Tohaali' Community School has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 96.84% and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8, suggesting a high-need student population.
