Compared with Hobbs High, the nearest school in the data at about 18.9 miles away, Eunice High is far smaller — 221 students versus 2,312 — and much less crowded, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.1 versus 18.4 in 2024–2025. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 88.6% is above both Hobbs High (87.4%) and the state (80.6%), a strong recent recovery. Science is the school's clearest strength: 11th-grade science proficiency was 34.62% in 2025–2026, roughly 10 points above Hobbs High (24.00%) and slightly above the state (34.02%).
English/language arts is improving but still trails: 11th-grade language arts was 32.69%, below Hobbs High (34.30%) and the state (36.78%), though that is up from 25% SAT ELA proficiency in 2024–2025. Mathematics is the least clear picture — 11th-grade and all-grades mathematics results are reported only as under 20%, below the state's 25.54% for all grades. Results for individual student groups have also swung widely from year to year, and the school's small size means year-to-year numbers can shift a lot. Overall, Eunice High shows strong science results, a recovering graduation rate, and recent improvement in its ranking, while ELA and mathematics remain areas to watch.
