High Schools in Tularosa

Summary:

The Tularosa area has only one high school, Tularosa High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Tularosa High School does not appear to be a standout performer compared to other high schools in New Mexico. The school has a relatively low statewide ranking, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, and its ranking has declined over the past few years.

Tularosa High School's academic performance is below the state average in several key metrics. The school had a 78.0% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024, which is below the state average. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were also below the state average in both NM-ASR/Science (37.14% vs. 41.69%) and SAT School Day/English Language Arts (40% vs. 38.44%). Additionally, the school has an extremely high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 99.33% in 2023-2024, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Despite these challenges, Tularosa High School does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 in 2023-2024, which could be an asset in addressing the school's academic performance and student outcomes. However, the data suggests that the Tularosa school district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve the performance of Tularosa High School and better support its students.
