Summary:
High schools in Tularosa Municipal Schools consist of a single campus serving grades 9–12: Tularosa High, located at 1305 8th Street in Tularosa, NM, with 303 students enrolled. Because it is the only high school in the district, its school-level figures and the district's high-school figures are identical across every metric reported.
Graduation is the standout result. In 2024–2025, Tularosa High posted a 91.4% graduation rate against 80.6% statewide — a 10.8 percentage-point advantage — a meaningful outcome given that 99.67% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025. The student-teacher ratio was 13:1. The school's ranking improved from 107th of 172 schools (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 66th of 132 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, placing it at roughly the state median. By contrast, Tularosa Municipal Schools as a whole ranked 69th of 87 districts, in the 21st percentile with 1 star, suggesting the high school is a relative strength within the district, though district rankings include other factors and grade levels.
On 2025–2026 11th-grade testing, the school was above the state in every reported subject area: language arts at 38.57% proficient versus 36.78% statewide, mathematics at 12.86% versus 12.72%, and science at 38.03% versus 34.02% on NM Combined and 34.27% on NM-ASR. Mathematics remains the clearest academic weakness in absolute terms — roughly 1 in 8 students proficient, compared with about 2 in 5 in language arts and science — although New Mexico's statewide math rate is similarly low, so this is a broader pattern. Science swung from 4.55 points below the state in 2024–2025 (37.14% versus 41.69%) to 3.76 points above in 2025–2026, as the state rate fell sharply, while language arts stayed consistently above state both years.
