Animas 7-12 School

Summary:

Animas 7-12 School is a public high school located in Animas, New Mexico, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 70 students. This small, rural school has consistently outperformed the state average in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and student group performance, making it a standout educational institution in the region.

Animas 7-12 School's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high proficiency rates, which exceed the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 52% in ELA, 17% in Math, and 48% in Science, compared to the state averages of 39%, 25%, and 36%, respectively. The school's 11th-grade students also outperformed the state average in SAT School Day/English Language Arts, with 30% proficiency compared to the state's 34%. Additionally, Animas 7-12 School has maintained consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 76.0% to 82.2% over the past few years, which are generally higher than the state average.

While the school's performance across different student subgroups is generally strong, with many groups ranking among the top in the state, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students has been more variable, ranking 81st out of 157 New Mexico high schools in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests an area for potential improvement, and the school may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address this gap. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 11.7 over the past three school years, may be contributing factors to its academic success, as they allow for more personalized attention and support for students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
