Summary:

ZIP code 87508, in the Santa Fe area, contains 5 schools — 3 labeled elementary and 2 labeled high — with grade spans running from pre-K through 12th grade, and total enrollment of 2,064 students. Turquoise Trail Charter School and El Dorado Community School serve PK–8, Amy Biehl Community School At Rancho Viejo serves PK–6, Academy For Technology & Classics serves 7–12, and The Masters Program serves 9–12. Three are part of Santa Fe Public Schools, while Turquoise Trail Charter School and The Masters Program each operate as their own district.

Two schools stand out. El Dorado is the clear top performer in the ZIP, ranking 6th of 346 schools in 2025–2026 at the 98th percentile with 5 stars, with all-grades proficiency of 76.6% in Language Arts, 66.79% in Mathematics, and 71.05% in Science — far above the state's 43.34%, 25.54%, and 33.4%. Academy For Technology & Classics ranks 26 of 132 at the 80th percentile with 4 stars, with strong 11th-grade results in Language Arts (61.29%), Mathematics (32.26%), and Science (57.38%), plus a 97.4% graduation rate in 2023–2024. The Masters Program ranks 46 of 132 at the 65th percentile with 3 stars, has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the ZIP at 11.2, a 92.0% graduation rate versus the state's 80.6%, and above-state Language Arts and Science — but 11th-grade math of 12.33% is roughly at the state's 12.72%.

The other two elementaries lag. Turquoise Trail Charter is the lowest-ranked, at 328 of 346, the 5th percentile and 0 stars, down from the 31st percentile in 2023–2024 and 13th in 2024–2025; its proficiency is 27.84% in Language Arts, 10.83% in Mathematics, and 17.17% in Science, with 3rd- and 5th-grade math under 10% and 7th- and 8th-grade math under 20%. Amy Biehl ranks 245 of 346 at the 29th percentile with 1 star, slightly below state in Language Arts (39.66%) and Mathematics (24.02%), though 3rd-grade Language Arts (45.65% vs 44.33%) and 6th-grade Language Arts (40.91% vs 38.9%) are bright spots. Notably, the three Santa Fe Public Schools sit in the same district yet span the top 2% to the bottom third — math is the weakest subject across most of the ZIP.
