Summary:
The 88252 zip code area in New Mexico is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Jal school district. While the top-performing school is Jal High School, which ranks 54th out of 131 New Mexico high schools, the overall academic performance across the schools suggests room for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
Jal High School stands out as the highest-performing school, with a 3-out-of-5-star rating and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 78%. In contrast, Jal Junior High has seen fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 97th to 219th over the past few years. The elementary school, Jal Elementary, has the lowest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics among the three schools.
Across the schools, there is a significant percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.38% at Jal High School to 50.37% at Jal Elementary, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This may present additional challenges in terms of student support and resources needed to address the unique needs of these students.
