Summary

Red Rock Elementary is a mid-sized PK–5 school serving 311 students on Red Rock Drive in Gallup, New Mexico, part of the Gallup-McKinley City Schools district, where about 84% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-2025.

Academically, Red Rock is the standout school in its area. It ranks 35th of 346 elementary schools statewide — the top 10% — and earned 5 stars, even though its own district sits in the bottom third of New Mexico. In 2025-2026, 68.89% of students were proficient in language arts and 55.56% in math, roughly 26 points above the state in reading and 30 points above in math. No nearby same-district school comes close: Jefferson Elementary (0.8 miles away) reached 48.43% in reading, Chee Dodge Elementary 46.09%, while Tobe Turpen Elementary, Catherine A. Miller Elementary and Stagecoach Elementary all landed in the bottom third of the state. Red Rock's growth last year was also striking — reading rose about 13 points and math about 12, roughly double the district's gains.

The most encouraging finding for families is that the school's highest-need students perform best of all. Its low-income students rank in the 98th percentile statewide and its English learners in the 99th — both above the school's overall standing — and boys and girls score nearly identically, so the school's success is broad rather than limited to one group. The one soft spot is 4th grade, where reading clears the state bar by only about 3 points and math is the school's lowest result. Class size doesn't appear to explain the results: Lincoln Elementary reports far smaller classes yet scores near the middle of the state.
