Summary:

There is only one high school located in the 88046 zip code - Rio Grande Preparatory Institute. This school serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Las Cruces school district. Based on the available data, Rio Grande Preparatory Institute appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom half of New Mexico high schools and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 76.7% is lower than the state average, and its proficiency rates in both NM-ASR/Science and SAT School Day/English Language Arts are significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, 100% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which is better than the state average.

Overall, the data suggests that Rio Grande Preparatory Institute faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. While the small class sizes are a positive, the school's consistently low rankings, test scores, and graduation rate indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement in academic instruction, student support, and overall school effectiveness. Parents and community members may want to closely monitor the school's progress and advocate for additional resources and support to help improve student outcomes.
