Summary

Gallup Middle is a grades 6–8 school at 1001 South Grandview in Gallup, New Mexico, serving about 480 students — the smallest of the three middle schools in the Gallup-McKinley City Schools district. The district overall ranks in the bottom third of New Mexico districts, but the school itself ranks 75th of 191 middle schools statewide (61st percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-2026 — its best showing in seven years and a full recovery from a one-year dip to the 32nd percentile in 2024-2025. It is the strongest of Gallup's three middle schools and the only one currently rated 3 stars.

English language arts is the standout: 54.26% of students were proficient, about 18 points above the district and 11 points above the state, and well ahead of Chief Manuelito Middle (35.62%) and John F. Kennedy Middle (43.85%). Eighth-grade science shows the same pattern — 43.27% proficient, roughly 14–15 points above both neighbors and 9 points above the state. Math is the weak spot: 23.98% proficient, roughly even with the district but below the state, and the main reason the school is rated 3 stars rather than 4. The roughly 30-point gap between its ELA and math results is much wider than the district's or the state's.

The strongest results are concentrated in 8th grade: 8th-grade ELA (61.54%) and 8th-grade science lead the state, and 7th-grade math (29.06%) is above the state, while 8th-grade math (18.27%) falls below it. Low-income students, who make up about 83% of enrollment, rank above the school's overall standing, suggesting the school serves its highest-need population well; English language learners are the one group whose relative results have slipped for three straight reported years. One reported figure — a student-teacher ratio dropping from 22.2 to 8.2 in a single year — looks more like a reporting change than real staffing, so treat it with caution.
