Summary:
ZIP code 87508 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is home to two high schools: Academy For Technology & Classics (grades 7–12, 398 students) and The Masters Program (grades 9–12, 258 students), serving 656 students combined. Academy For Technology & Classics belongs to Santa Fe Public Schools, while The Masters Program is its own district. Because one school starts in 7th grade and the other in 9th, their enrollment and all-grade test results are not perfectly comparable.
Academy For Technology & Classics is the academic standout, holding a 4-star rating in each of the three reported years and ranking 26 of 132 (80th percentile) in 2025–2026. Its proficiency rates beat both district and state averages, including 11th-grade math at 32.26% versus the state's 12.53%. It outperforms its own district, Santa Fe Public Schools, which is rated 2 stars. The Masters Program earns 3 stars in 2025–2026 after two 4-star years, and its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 92.0% is well above the state's 80.6%. Its ELA and science results also exceed state averages, but 11th-grade math was 12.33% versus the state's 12.53% — a sharp drop from 20.90% the prior year.
Academy For Technology & Classics outperformed The Masters Program in every 2025–2026 11th-grade subject listed, with the widest gap in math. The Masters Program has the smaller student-teacher ratio (11.2 versus 14.4), yet the stronger academic outcomes belong to Academy For Technology & Classics, so ratio alone does not explain performance. Families should also note limits in the data: Academy For Technology & Classics' free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported, its 2024–2025 school graduation rate is not provided, and the two schools' differing grade spans mean some results cover different student groups.
