Summary:
Texico, New Mexico is a small community served by three schools — Texico Elementary (PK–5, 246 students), Texico Middle (6–8, 137 students), and Texico High (9–12, 168 students) — all part of Texico Municipal Schools. Together they enroll 551 students and share one address, giving families a co-located PK–12 campus. The district ranks 7th of 87 in New Mexico, at the 92nd percentile, with 5 stars.
Texico Middle is the standout school, ranking 6th of 191 middle schools statewide — the 97th percentile, 5 stars, or roughly the top 3%. Its math results lead the area: all-grades math proficiency is 73.55 on NM Combined and 74.79 on NM-MSSA, compared with state rates of 25.54 and 27.85, and grade 7 math reaches 85.71, the highest grade-level result in the data. Texico Elementary is also top-tier, ranking 14th of 346 elementary schools (96th percentile, 5 stars), with ELA at 78.05 combined and 78.69 NM-MSSA versus state rates of 43.34 and 44.66, and grade 4 ELA at 84.21. Its math — 64.52 combined and 65.04 NM-MSSA — is well above state as well.
Texico High is above state averages in every reported category, though lower than the earlier grades: 31st of 132 high schools (77th percentile, 4 stars). Its graduation rate of 93.7% is well above the state's 80.6%, and its 7.9 student–teacher ratio is the lowest of the three schools. Eleventh-grade proficiency is 62.5 in ELA, 43.75 in math, and 43.75 in science, with matching SAT results. Trends differ by level: the middle school improved in 2025–2026, the elementary declined from its 2024–2025 levels, and the high school rose sharply in 2024–2025 before slipping slightly. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all three schools, so economic context cannot be assessed.
