MIDDLE COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

MIDDLE COLLEGE HIGH is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the GALLUP school district, located in GALLUP, NM with about 98 students offering grade levels from 10th 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 3 teachers, MIDDLE COLLEGE HIGH has a student/teacher ratio of about 32:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

MIDDLE COLLEGE HIGH School (MCHS), located in Gallup, New Mexico, is a unique, tuition-free public charter school that operates in a close partnership with the University of New Mexico–Gallup branch. The school is specifically designed for students in grades 9 through 12 who are seeking a rigorous, accelerated academic environment. By integrating high school coursework with college-level studies, MCHS provides students with the opportunity to earn significant college credits—and in many cases, an associate degree—concurrently with their high school diploma at no cost to their families.

The school is defined by a supportive, small-school atmosphere that prioritizes personalized learning and college readiness. Because classes are held on the college campus, students are immersed in a higher-education setting, which helps bridge the gap between secondary school and the professional or university world. MCHS is an excellent fit for highly motivated students who are looking for a non-traditional educational experience that emphasizes independence, academic challenge, and a clear pathway toward future higher education goals.
