JEMEZ VALLEY

Located along 8501 Highway 4 in Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, Jemez Valley Public Schools is a fully operational, traditional public school district deeply rooted in its scenic, distant rural setting within the greater Albuquerque metropolitan area. Operating three distinct school campuses, the district offers a continuous educational pathway for local families, spanning from pre-kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. Jemez Valley serves a close-knit student body of 292 learners, creating an intimate educational atmosphere where students are well known by peers and educators alike. The student population reflects a vibrant cultural heritage, composed predominantly of American Indian (187 students) and Hispanic (72 students) youth, alongside multiracial, White, and Asian students.

To support its student body, the district maintains a robust workforce totaling over 105 full-time equivalent staff members. This includes nearly 37 full-time equivalent classroom teachers, three instructional aides, and over 65 dedicated support personnel encompassing administrative, operational, and student-services staff. This favorable staffing model yields an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of under 8 to 1, allowing for highly individualized instruction, strong mentorship, and targeted academic support across every grade level.
