Jemez Day School

Located at 243 Day School Rd in Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, Jemez Day School operates as an active, standalone public school district dedicated to elementary education in a distant rural setting within the broader Albuquerque metropolitan region. The single-facility district serves a focused grade span from kindergarten through sixth grade, offering a stable and community-centered learning environment. During the 2024–2025 academic year, the district enrolled 141 students, composed entirely of American Indian scholars, with a balanced distribution of 74 male and 67 female students spread evenly across its primary grade levels.

To foster student development, Jemez Day School is backed by an exceptionally strong staffing footprint relative to its size. The district employs 18 full-time equivalent teachers supported by 8 instructional aides and 34 dedicated support staff members, bringing its total workforce to 60 professionals. This robust staffing structure creates an remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of under eight to one, allowing for highly individualized instruction, small class sizes, and comprehensive wrap-around support services.
