Clovis High is a public high school in Clovis, New Mexico, serving grades 9–12 with 1,506 students as part of Clovis Municipal Schools, a district that ranks 57th of 87 in New Mexico (34th percentile, 2 stars). Clovis High itself ranked 72nd of 132 high schools statewide in 2025–26 (45th percentile, 2 stars), down from 52nd of 181 (71st percentile, 4 stars) in 2018–19.

On 2025–26 11th-grade tests, results were close to but generally below state averages: 34.11% proficient in language arts (state 36.78%), 11.6% in math (state 12.72%), and 33.94% in NM Combined science (state 34.02%). The NM-ASR science score of 34.5% edged just above the state's 34.27%. SAT School Day results followed the same pattern — 34.67% in ELA and 11.56% in math. Graduation is a relative strength at 81.3% in 2024–25, slightly above the state's 80.6% and even with the district's 81.5%, so the school keeps students to graduation somewhat better than it moves them to proficiency, especially in math. It serves a high-poverty population (83% free/reduced lunch), and its student-teacher ratio is 17.7.

Compared with nearby schools, Clovis High is by far the largest — about twice the size of Portales High (754 students) and nine times Texico High (168). Clovis beats Portales on every tested subject, but Portales graduates more students (91.9% vs. 81.3%) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (15.5). Texico is the strongest local performer academically (62.5% in language arts, 43.75% in math and science, a 93.7% graduation rate, and a 7.9 ratio), though its very small enrollment makes percentages more volatile. Within Clovis High, results vary by group: special education and English Language Learner rankings sit very low, and low-income students ranked 40th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–26, down from 57th percentile the previous year.
