Summary

T Or C Middle School is a public middle school in T Or C, New Mexico, serving 272 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the T Or C District, which is ranked 63 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, T Or C Middle School has consistently performed below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency over the past few years. While 6th-grade students perform closer to the state average, 7th and 8th-grade students lag behind. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female and multi-racial students performing relatively better than their male and Hispanic/White counterparts. Additionally, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled, with the school ranking 85 out of 144 New Mexico middle schools for this subgroup.

Despite maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking, has declined over the years, dropping from 34 out of 176 New Mexico middle schools in 2016-2017 to 123 out of 192 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. This trend suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic outcomes, which could be an area of concern for the district and the community. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with its below-average academic performance, indicates that the school may be serving a predominantly low-income community, which could present unique challenges and resource needs.
