Summary:
T Or C Municipal Schools is a small New Mexico district with five schools — three elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving students from prekindergarten through 12th grade, with about 1,246 students enrolled. The district ranks 84th of 87 in New Mexico, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars, so the overall context is near the bottom of the state.
Arrey Elementary is the smallest school at 93 students and has the lowest student/teacher ratio at 10.0, plus the district's strongest rank history (75th percentile/4 stars in 2021–2022, then 69th percentile/3 stars). Hot Springs High has the clearest bright spots — an 85.6% graduation rate versus the state's 80.6%, and 11th-grade science at 48.15% in 2024–2025, above the state's 41.69% — but its current math is very low at 9.88%, with SAT math at 8.75% and 11th-grade math under 10%. T Or C Middle shows uneven results: 7th-grade ELA reached 45.95%, nearly matching the state's 46.63%, while 8th-grade math was under 10%. Sierra Elementary fell sharply to 337th of 346, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars. T Or C Elementary has also declined over the long term, from 69th percentile in 2009–2010 to 4th percentile in 2022–2023.
Two things stand out for families. First, poverty is essentially universal here: every school reports 100% free/reduced lunch, except T Or C Elementary at 99.73%. Second, the district trails the state in every major subject — ELA at 30.25% versus 43.34%, math at 16.09% versus 25.54%, and science at 24.51% versus 33.40%. Performance also swings widely between grade levels within the same school, which may reflect small grade sizes. Note that several results are state-suppressed and marked as unknown, and should not be read as zeros.
