of 191 New Mexico Middle Schools

Better than 13% of New Mexico middle schools

Summary

Mesa View Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 461 students in Farmington, New Mexico, part of Farmington Municipal Schools. In 2025–2026, it ranked 166th of 191 New Mexico middle schools — the 13th percentile, with 1 star. That continues a long slide: from 2016–17 through 2018–19 the school sat around the 53rd–58th percentile with 3 stars, and it has been a 1-star school since 2021–22.

Academically, Mesa View trails both its district and the state. In 2025–2026, 28.57% of students were proficient in English language arts, compared with 41.77% in Farmington Municipal Schools and 44.66% statewide. Math is the deeper weakness: 11.59% proficiency, versus 27.36% district and 27.85% state — roughly 1 in 9 students. By grade, 7th-grade ELA (32.58%) is the strongest tested area, while 8th-grade math (7.59%) is the lowest. Eighth-grade science was 23.49%, below the district's 33.24% and the state's 34.19%.

Comparisons with nearby schools are striking. Within the same district, Heights Middle School (51.24% ELA, 33.06% math, 3 stars) and Hermosa Middle School (44.60% ELA, 33.79% math, 3 stars) rank in the 61st–63rd percentile, far above Mesa View. Tibbetts Middle School, the closest peer, is slightly lower in all-grade ELA and math but higher in 8th-grade ELA and science. Nearby Kirtland Middle outperforms Mesa View even though its district, Central Consolidated Schools, ranks near the bottom of the state. Mesa View's student/teacher ratio of 14.1 is lower than those higher-performing schools, so class size alone doesn't explain the gap. Some student groups fare relatively well — special education students ranked in the 81st percentile in 2023–2024 — but results are uneven across groups.
