Summary

Crownpoint Middle School is a public middle school located in Crownpoint, New Mexico, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 242 students. The school is part of the Gallup school district, which is ranked 73 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Crownpoint Middle School has a history of low performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 96 to 217 out of New Mexico middle schools over the past decade, and a 2-star or lower rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time.

Crownpoint Middle consistently underperforms the state and district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Crownpoint Middle's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 34.91%, compared to the state average of 44.19% and the Gallup district average of 32.57%. In Mathematics, Crownpoint Middle's proficiency rate for all grades was 17.92%, significantly lower than the state average of 26.81% and the Gallup district average of 19.76%. The school's performance in Science is also below the state average, with an 8th-grade proficiency rate of 28.89% compared to the state's 34.46%. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American students performing relatively well, ranking 8th out of 30 New Mexico middle schools for this subgroup in the 2024-2025 school year.

Crownpoint Middle has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 94.21% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This high rate of poverty likely contributes to the school's overall academic challenges. In comparison, the nearby Thoreau Middle School, which is also part of the Gallup school district, performs slightly better than Crownpoint Middle in academic proficiency rates, particularly in ELA. However, Thoreau Middle still struggles to meet state averages, suggesting that the broader district-level challenges may be impacting both schools.
