Summary

W D Gattis Middle School is a public middle school in Clovis, New Mexico, serving grades 6 through 8 with 527 students as part of Clovis Municipal Schools, a district ranked 57th of 87 in New Mexico (34th percentile, 2 stars). Gattis itself ranked 77th of 191 middle schools statewide in 2025–2026 — 60th percentile, 3 stars — which makes it an above-average school inside a below-average district. Its enrollment is larger than most nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio improved from 16.5 to 14.3 over the past three years.

English language arts is the school's clearest strength: Gattis scored 49.9 combined and 51.02 on NM-MSSA in 2025–2026, above both district and state by roughly 6–7 percentage points, with grade 7 especially strong at 54.37. Math is the weak spot, at 25.63 combined and slightly below the district, and the ELA-to-math gap of 24.27 points is wider than the district's or the state's. Grade-level math is better than the all-grade figure suggests, and eighth-grade science (37.8) is a quiet strength above district and state. The school serves some groups relatively well — low-income students ranked around or above the state median at the 53rd percentile in 2025–2026, and male students ranked higher still — while Special Education students ranked 76th of 78 (3rd percentile, 0 stars) in 2023–2024, the most serious concern in the data.

Locally, Gattis generally outperforms Yucca Middle and Portales Junior High across most subjects, trails Marshall 6th Grade Academy in math and class size, and sits far below Texico Middle, a 5-star, 97th-percentile outlier in Texico Municipal Schools. Gattis improved from the 52nd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 60th in 2025–2026, though it remains below its own 2023–2024 mark of 73rd percentile and 4 stars. Raising math proficiency and improving special education effectiveness look like the two levers most likely to move the school back toward that level.

Constant bullying, faculty did nothing to help. Enrolled my kid in Yucca and much happier. Close Quote
