DORA HIGH is a Title I public high school that is part of the DORA school district, located in DORA, NM with about 115 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, DORA HIGH has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1.
