Penasco


Summary:

The Penasco school district in New Mexico consists of three schools: Penasco Elementary, Penasco High, and Penasco Middle. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is located in an economically disadvantaged area, with all three schools reporting a 100% free/reduced lunch rate.

Penasco High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, ranking 28th out of 190 New Mexico high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school outperforms the state average in several key metrics, including English Language Arts and Science proficiency. In contrast, Penasco Middle School has struggled, with only 14% proficiency in Math compared to the state average of 25%.

While Penasco Elementary also outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Science, the district as a whole faces significant challenges due to the high rates of economic disadvantage among its student population. Addressing these challenges and supporting the weaker-performing schools, such as Penasco Middle, will be crucial for improving overall educational outcomes in the Penasco school district.
