Summary:
Texico Municipal Schools is a small New Mexico district serving about 551 students across three schools — elementary (PK–5), middle (6–8), and high school (9–12) — and it ranks 7th of 87 districts in the state, in the 92nd percentile with 5 stars. Enrollment is 246 at Texico Elementary, 137 at Texico Middle, and 168 at Texico High. Notably, all three schools outperform the state in every tested subject reported for 2025–2026.
Texico Middle is the district's current academic leader: 6th of 191 middle schools, 97th percentile, 5 stars, with ELA at 79.66% and math at 74.79% versus statewide rates of 44.66% and 27.85%. It also posted the district's biggest year-over-year gains, including 7th-grade math at 85.71%, the highest grade-level result in the data. Texico Elementary is close behind at 14th of 346 elementary schools, 96th percentile, 5 stars, with 78.69% ELA and 65.04% math, though all three subjects slipped from the prior year. Texico High is the relative laggard on tests — 31st of 132 high schools, 77th percentile, 4 stars, 62.5% ELA and 43.75% math and science — but its 93.7% graduation rate far exceeds the state's 80.6%, and it has climbed from 3 stars two years ago.
Math is the district's clearest strength, with middle school 46.9 points above the state, elementary 37.2 points above, and high school 31.2 points above. High school science, only about 9.5 points above the state, is the narrowest relative advantage and the most obvious area to watch. Because the middle and high schools are small, grade-level percentages can swing noticeably from one cohort to the next, so year-to-year changes are best read as signals to monitor rather than settled trends.
