QUEMADO

Situated at 3484 Highway 60 in Quemado, New Mexico, Quemado Public Schools serves as a vital educational anchor within a distinctly rural, remote community. Operating as an active, traditional public school district rather than a charter system, it manages three operational facilities that offer a seamless learning continuum spanning from prekindergarten through the twelfth grade. The district nurtures a close-knit learning environment for its student body of 170 children, featuring an even gender distribution of 85 male and 85 female students. Its student population reflects the regional demographic fabric, comprising predominantly White and Hispanic students alongside Multiracial, American Indian, and Black learners, all benefiting from small cohort sizes across every grade level.

According to the 2024–2025 National Center for Education Statistics context, the district maintains an exceptionally supportive learning environment underscored by a robust professional workforce. Quemado employs approximately 32 full-time equivalent teachers, backed by nearly seven instructional aides and 23 specialized support personnel, bringing the district’s total staffing to over 61 full-time equivalent positions. This favorable staff-to-student presence allows for highly personalized instruction, dedicated classroom assistance, and well-supported extracurricular and operational services tailored to a rural setting.
