Summary:

The 87455 zip code is home to a single high school, Newcomb High School, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 230 students. This public school is ranked 123 out of 131 high schools in New Mexico and has a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is significantly underperforming compared to other schools in the state.

Newcomb High School's academic performance is a major concern, with only 24% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Science/NM-ASR and 18% proficient or better in English Language Arts/SAT School Day. These proficiency rates are substantially lower than the district and state averages. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 78.0% is also below the state average, further highlighting the challenges it faces in supporting student success.

The high poverty level among Newcomb High School's student population, with 98.26% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, the school's limited resources and the socioeconomic challenges of its community appear to be significant barriers to providing a high-quality education. Targeted interventions and additional support may be necessary to help improve outcomes for the students at Newcomb High School.
