Summary

Hagerman Middle is a small public middle school in the rural southeastern New Mexico community of Hagerman, serving grades 6–8 with about 70 students as part of Hagerman Municipal Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranks 69th of 191 middle schools statewide — the 64th percentile, with 3 stars — above the state midpoint and above its district's 48th percentile standing. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, and its student-to-teacher ratio is 10.3.

The school has improved substantially over the past decade, moving from 1-star, bottom-quartile rankings in the late 2010s to the 50th percentile in 2021–2022, the 69th in 2022–2023, and a peak of the 88th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024. English language arts is its clearest strength: 51.95% proficiency at all grades versus 44.66% statewide, with 6th, 7th, and 8th grades each above the state grade-level rate. Math is close to the state average (25.97% versus 27.85%), helped by a strong 6th-grade result of 41.67%; 7th- and 8th-grade math figures are suppressed, so the all-grade number cannot be broken down. Eighth-grade science (33.33%) is near the state's 34.33%. In 2023–2024 the school ranked in the 99th percentile statewide for English language learners and the 92nd percentile for students from low-income families.

Compared with nearby schools, Hagerman is a relatively strong performer. Its 2025–2026 ELA proficiency is essentially tied with Lake Arthur Middle for the highest among local peers, and well above Mountain View Middle (35.51%) and Dexter Middle (41.89%). In math, Hagerman trails only Lake Arthur and again outpaces the other two. It posts the highest 2025–2026 rank among schools with one listed (64th percentile, versus 41st for Dexter and 32nd for Mountain View), and its 10.3 student-to-teacher ratio is lower than Mountain View's 17.4 and Dexter's 12.9. Lake Arthur, at 26 students, is far smaller and has no 2025–2026 rank listed. Keep in mind that with only 70 students, grade-level percentages can swing widely from year to year.
