Best High Schools in Zip Code 87507

ZIP code 87507, on Santa Fe's south side, is home to three high schools totaling about 2,014 students: Capital High (grades 9–12, enrollment 1,388) and two 7–12 charter schools, Monte Del Sol Charter (370) and Tierra Encantada Charter School (256).

Monte Del Sol Charter has the strongest overall profile in this group: the highest graduation rate (86.0% vs. the state's 80.6%), the best student-teacher ratio (12.3), and the best current rank among the three (78 of 132, 41st percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. Its 11th-grade ELA results — 37.78% on NM Combined and 35.71% on SAT School Day — are close to state levels, and its 2024–2025 all-grade science proficiency (42.24%) topped the state's 35.14%. Its rank, however, swung sharply from 73rd percentile with 4 stars the prior year. Capital High, part of Santa Fe Public Schools, is by far the largest school (about 69% of ZIP enrollment) and reports 100% free/reduced lunch. Its graduation rate of 83.4% is above state, but its 11th-grade proficiency is low — ELA 17.42%, math 2.45%, science 16.03% — and SAT math is under 5%. Its rank has fallen each year shown, reaching 128 of 132, 3rd percentile, 0 stars.

Tierra Encantada Charter School is the smallest and has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (53.91%), but the weakest high-school metrics: a 79.2% graduation rate (below the state), 11th-grade ELA of 25%, all-grade math under 10%, and SAT math under 20%. Its standout bright spot is 7th-grade ELA at 50%, above the state's 46.63% and 46.99%; its 7th-grade math is suppressed (—), which means unknown, not weak. Because both charters serve grades 7–12 while Capital High serves 9–12 only, 11th-grade comparisons are the fairest. Across all three, math is the clearest shared weakness.
