For parents, the main takeaway is that the sole middle school in this district is currently in the bottom tier of New Mexico middle schools, with 0 stars and a 6th-percentile rank after two 1-star years. Mathematics remains the lowest absolute area, and ELA and science declined from the prior year. The school’s 97.74% free/reduced-lunch rate and 15.2 student-teacher ratio are important context, though the data alone do not explain the proficiency gaps. Relative bright spots are limited: 6th-grade ELA is the strongest current grade-level result, and mathematics improved slightly from a very low base, but both remain well below district and state levels.
