Summary:
Santa Fe South Charter includes 10 schools serving elementary through high school, with six elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools and 4,620 students enrolled. Eight schools have test results for both reported years; the results show striking differences between schools, including schools serving the same grades. In 2025–2026, all-grades results spanned 51 percentage points in ELA I, 54 points in math and 65 points in science, making the most important finding that families will find very different academic results across this group.
Santa Fe South Pathways Mid-College and Santa Fe South Middle School stand out for strong results, while Santa Fe South High School and Santa Fe South Shidler Elementary School show some of the weakest. Pathways had 61% proficiency in ELA I and 63% in U.S. History; its grade-11 ELA I result was 25 points above the state’s 36%. Santa Fe South Middle’s all-grades science result was 67%, compared with 27% at Santa Fe South West Middle School and 30% statewide. Santa Fe South Spero Elementary School led in all-grades math at 56%, while Shidler had the lowest ELA I result at 10%. High School scored 2% in both math and science; Pathways led High School in grade-11 ELA I by 49 points and science by 39 points.
Results improved overall in math and science but not ELA I: the eight-school average rose 2 points in math and 6 points in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA I slipped 1 point. SchoolDigger ranked Pathways in the 96th percentile in both years, and Santa Fe South Middle rose from the 49th to the 91st percentile over the three years shown. Similar reported income measures do not mean similar results: in 2024–2025, Spero and Shidler were 94% and 98% free/reduced lunch eligible, yet their fifth-grade math results were 66% and 34%. Santa Fe South Middle and West Middle were both 96% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, while Santa Fe South Middle had higher results in grades 6–8. These are comparisons, not evidence that income measures explain scores; Santa Fe South ECC and Santa Fe South Trinity Elementary have no test scores reported in the supplied data.
