Middle Schools in Ruidoso

Ruidoso, New Mexico is home to a single public middle school, Ruidoso Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 388 students. The school's performance is evaluated based on its own metrics and how it compares to state-level averages.

Ruidoso Middle School stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts (ELA), where it outperforms the state average at all grade levels, with 50.58% of students proficient or better compared to the state average of 44.19%. However, the school's Mathematics performance is more mixed, with strong 6th-grade results but declining performance in 7th and 8th grades. In 8th-grade Science, Ruidoso Middle School significantly outperforms the state average, with 49.14% of students proficient or better compared to the state average of 34.46%.

The school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 51.03% and small student-teacher ratio of 13:1 suggest it may have access to more resources and support compared to other schools in the state, which could contribute to its overall academic performance. While Ruidoso Middle School appears to be a solid-performing middle school, the school's Mathematics performance, especially in the upper grades, could be an area for further investigation and improvement.
