💎 Hidden gem. Most students here come from low-income families, yet they learn faster than the national average — 1.60 grade levels a year in 2022–25, and above average before the pandemic too. Growth like this is the clearest sign of what a school adds.

Students served: 72% students directly certified for free meals (their families receive SNAP or similar aid). Compared with New Mexico schools serving a similar share of low-income students, this school’s reading and math results are −18 points worse than expected. (Context only; not part of the score.)

About Repit School Scores

Parents choosing a school deserve to see what it actually delivers. Since October 2026 the Repit School Score is built mainly on results:

  • Academics (largest share) — the share of students scoring proficient in reading and math on the state test, ranked against schools of the same level in the same state.
  • Graduation (high schools) — the four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate. Only regular diplomas count; GEDs and certificates of attendance do not.
  • Resources (smaller share) — class size, per-pupil funding, school size and type.

Scores compare schools within their own state, because every state writes its own tests and sets its own proficiency bar. Full methodology
