Summary:
ZIP code 87501 has one middle school, Sixth Grade Academy, which serves grade 6 only and is part of Pojoaque Valley Public Schools. With 79 students, it is a small, single-grade school, so there are no within-ZIP peer comparisons; the useful context comes from its district, New Mexico state averages, and its own prior results.
Academically, the school’s strongest recent signal is 2024–2025 English language arts proficiency at 48.05%, above the district’s 39.52% and the state’s 44.19%. Math was a weaker area that year at 14.29%, below the district’s 15.52% and well below the state’s 26.81%. In 2025–2026 grade 6, ELA was 18.18% and math was 15.7%; both matched the district but were below state benchmarks (ELA 38.9% on NM Combined and 39.14% on NM-MSSA; math 31.89% and 32.13%). The school’s 2023–2024 rank history shows 38th of 165 schools, 77th percentile, and 4 stars, while the district is listed at 1 star and 18th percentile.
Parents should note that 100% of students were reported as free/reduced-lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.1. The small enrollment means one student can shift proficiency rates by roughly 1.3 percentage points, so year-to-year changes should be read cautiously. The 2025–2026 NM Combined and NM-MSSA entries appear to reflect the same school and district results with slightly different state comparisons. Overall, the school showed a bright ELA result in 2024–2025 but persistent math challenges, with current-year results at district average and below state.
