Carrizozo High

Summary:

Carrizozo High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Carrizozo, New Mexico, with a total enrollment of 53 students. The school is part of the Carrizozo District, which is ranked 73 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carrizozo High has experienced significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the years, ranging from a high of 24th out of 177 schools in 2012-2013 to a low of 169th out of 198 schools in 2013-2014. The school's performance has been strong among Hispanic students, ranking 5th out of 139 New Mexico high schools in 2018-2019, but more mixed for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Carrizozo High's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 72.5% and 79% in recent years, with the most recent rate being 76.7% in 2022-2023. However, the school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics have been consistently lower than the state averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.

Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.7 to 10.5 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby Capitan High School (10.4 students per teacher), Carrizozo High faces significant challenges due to the high percentage (100%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors, along with the school's inconsistent performance and equity issues, suggest that Carrizozo High may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve its academic outcomes and better serve its 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.
