Elida High

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Elida High is a very small public school in rural Elida, New Mexico, serving grades 7–12 with 73 students as part of Elida Municipal Schools. Its latest statewide ranking is strong: in 2023–2024 it placed 11th of 172 New Mexico high schools — the 94th percentile with 5 stars, a top-decile position. For comparison, nearby Dora High (18 miles away, grades 7–12, 94 students) ranked 27th of 132 in 2025–2026 at the 80th percentile with 4 stars and has been consistently 4-star, while Floyd High (about 19 miles away) has older rankings mostly at 3 stars.

Elida's 2025–2026 all-grades results are well above state averages: 73.91% in language arts versus the state's 43.34%, 60.87% in math versus 25.54%, and 43.75% in science versus 33.40%. Language arts is Elida's clearest edge over Dora High — about 14.8 points on the all-grades combined metric and about 12.4 points on the NM-MSSA subset. Math is closer: Elida leads Dora by roughly 4 points on the combined metric, but on the NM-MSSA subset Dora edges ahead at 61.54% to 60.87%, and science is nearly tied (43.75% vs 42.86%). Growth from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 was notable, up about 19.7 points in language arts and 19.2 points in math, and Elida's school-level scores now exceed its own district's in all three subjects. Floyd's all-grades language arts and math were suppressed for 2025–2026.

Historically, Elida's graduation rates ranged from 88.6% to 100%, though recent rates are suppressed and should be treated as unknown. About 61.64% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, higher than Dora High's 45.74%, and the student-teacher ratio is very low at 4.8. Subgroup results showed standout effectiveness — 95th percentile for female students in 2023–2024 and roughly 65th–67th percentile for low-income students. With only 73 students, year-to-year swings and missing data are expected.
