Summary:

There is only one middle school located in Magdalena, New Mexico - Magdalena Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Magdalena school district.

Magdalena Middle School has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 70th out of 232 New Mexico middle schools in 2021-2022 to 139th out of 235 in 2023-2024. The school's performance rating by SchoolDigger has also declined, from 4 stars out of 5 in 2021-2022 to 2 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024. In the 2023-2024 school year, Magdalena Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (35%) and Mathematics (15%) were lower than the state averages of 39% and 25%, respectively. However, the school's Science proficiency rate (35%) was slightly higher than the state average of 36%.

Despite the challenges, Magdalena Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 1, which is typically considered a positive indicator for student learning and support. However, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage (100%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage can impact student learning and achievement, and may be a contributing factor to the school's declining performance in some academic areas.
