Entrance
In order to be accepted into either the STEM school or Medical Academy the students must go through an application process in the winter of their eighth grade year. Roughly 140 students are enrolled each year from this application process.
Purpose
The school was formed by Las Cruces Public Schools due to overcrowding at the four high schools in the city of Las Cruces, as well as offering an alternative for students.
