Summary

Texico Elementary is a PK–5 school in Texico, NM, serving 246 students in Texico Municipal Schools, a small eastern New Mexico district ranked 7th of 87 statewide (92nd percentile, 5 stars).

The school itself is ranked 14th of 346 New Mexico elementary schools in 2025–26 — the top 4% of the state — and has earned 5 stars for four consecutive reported years. Its 2025–26 proficiency results are far above the New Mexico average: 78.05% in Language Arts versus 43.34% statewide, 64.52% in Mathematics versus 25.54%, and 56.82% in 5th-grade Science versus 31.97%. Nearby schools in Clovis Municipal Schools, roughly 7–11 miles away, trail Texico in every subject. Mesa Elementary is the closest comparison — also 5 stars, ranked 25th statewide — but Texico still leads it by about 13 points in Language Arts, 10 points in Math, and 4 points in 5th-grade Science. Zia Elementary and Barry Elementary rank 127th and 113th, and the remaining nearby schools fall in the 10th–43rd percentile range. Grade-level results are strong across the board, including 84.21% in 4th-grade Language Arts and 69.23% in 4th-grade Math.

Texico's trajectory has been strongly positive, rising from 3 stars and the 64th percentile in 2014–15 to the 96th–99th percentile in recent years. Its 2025–26 results dipped slightly from the 2024–25 peak: all-grades Math fell from 75.68% to 64.52% and Language Arts from 84.68% to 78.05%, both still far above state and nearby levels, though Math is worth watching. Results are also consistent across student groups; among low-income students the school ranked 3rd of 325 (99th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–25. Its latest reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 34.66% (2023–24; 2024–25 is unavailable), much lower than most nearby Clovis schools, and its 13.5 student-teacher ratio and 246-student enrollment are smaller than nearby campuses.
