Summary:
Tularosa, New Mexico is served by four public schools, all part of Tularosa Municipal Schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, covering grades PK–12 with 883 students listed in total. Tularosa High is the largest (grades 9–12, 303 students), followed by Tularosa Elementary (PK–2, 230), Tularosa Intermediate (3–6, 210), and Tularosa Middle (7–8, 140). The district itself ranks 69th of 87 in the state, at the 21st percentile with a 1-star rating — but that single district rating hides wide differences among the schools.
Tularosa Intermediate is the strongest academic performer, with ELA at 51.02% and math at 31.12% proficient, both above district and state averages, and 3 stars in 2025–2026 after rising from the 32nd to the 54th percentile. Tularosa High also earned 3 stars, with a 91.4% graduation rate — well above the state's 80.6% — and proficiency near or slightly above state in ELA, math, and science. Tularosa Elementary posts a strong ELA result of 48.65%, above district and state, but the extract includes no current math or science data for it.
Tularosa Middle is the clear concern, falling from the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 4th percentile in 2025–2026 with 0 stars. Its ELA (23.81%) and math (7.18%) are far below district and state, with 6th- and 8th-grade math under 10% and 7th-grade math under 20%. Free/reduced lunch is near or at 99–100% where reported, though the middle school's figure is blank and should be treated as unknown, not zero. Student-teacher ratios do not track performance here: the middle school has the lowest ratio (8.3) and the weakest results.
