VISTA GRANDE HIGH SCHOOL

Vista Grande High School operates as an active, independent charter school district consisting of a single operational campus located in the remote town of Taos, New Mexico. Situated at 213 Paseo del Canon East, the district serves as its own local education agency for federal programs, focusing exclusively on secondary education for students in grades 9 through 12. The district fosters a close-knit academic environment with a total enrollment of 69 students. The student body is culturally diverse and primarily composed of 41 Hispanic, 12 American Indian, 9 White, and 7 multiracial students, with a gender distribution of 44 female and 25 male learners across its four grade levels.

To support its student population, the district maintains a robust human resources infrastructure comprising 28.74 full-time equivalent (FTE) total staff members. This dedicated team includes 14.9 FTE teachers, 1.0 FTE instructional aide, and 12.84 FTE support personnel, ensuring an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio for its high school cohorts—which range in size from 12 students in grade 10 to 22 students in grade 9. This high concentration of instructional and support staff enables tailored educational pathways and comprehensive student services.
