Summary

Holloman Middle is a grade 6–8 school serving 173 students at 381 1st St on Holloman Air Force Base, NM, part of Alamogordo Public Schools. While the district itself ranks mid-pack statewide (41st of 87 districts, 3 stars), the school is a clear outlier: in 2025–2026 it ranked 9th of 191 middle schools in New Mexico — the 95th percentile, with 5 stars. That is not a one-year spike: it was 9th of 192 in 2024–2025, 4th of 165 in 2023–2024, 11th of 239 in 2022–2023, and 29th of 232 in 2021–2022. Across the history shown, Holloman is usually a top-5% to top-10% school in the state.

Proficiency gaps versus nearby schools are large. In 2025–2026, Holloman's all-grades ELA was 75.0 and math 65.0, compared with district results of 46.44 and 32.29 and state results of 44.66 and 27.85. Against same-district peers, its ELA is about 31 points above Chaparral Middle, 41 points above Mountain View Middle, and 51 points above Tularosa Middle; math is roughly 32, 44, and 58 points higher. Grade 8 science (64.44) is well above Chaparral (43.8), Mountain View (33.54), and Tularosa (17.57). Holloman is also smaller (173 students vs. 513 and 479) with a lower student/teacher ratio (11.9 vs. 13.6 and 14.5). Its 7th-grade ELA (82.14) and 6th-grade math (71.19) are especially strong, and even its lowest core result, 8th-grade math at 55.56, sits about 28 points above the district.

Multiple student groups perform at a high level, including lower-income students (1st of 144, 99th percentile in 2023–2024) and students in special education. Some caveats are worth noting: Chaparral and Mountain View both report 100% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 versus Holloman's 20.93% in 2023–2024 (the 2024–2025 value is unknown), so raw comparisons deserve context; the military-connected subgroup comparison pool is small; and Tularosa Middle serves only grades 7–8 and has state-suppressed math figures reported as bounds (under 10% or under 20%) rather than exact values.
