Summary

T Or C Middle is a grades 6–8 school in T Or C, New Mexico, serving 255 students within T Or C Municipal Schools, a district ranked 84th of 87. The school ranked 137th of 191 New Mexico middle schools in 2025–2026, in the 28th percentile with 1 star, down from 123rd of 192 in 2024–2025 (36th percentile, 2 stars) and far below its 2016–2017 position of 34th of 176 (81st percentile, 4 stars). No other schools are within 20 miles, so comparisons are to the district and state.

Academically, the school generally outperforms its district but trails the state. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 32.37% versus 30.25% for the district and 43.34% for the state; math was 19.67% versus 16.09% for the district and 25.54% for the state; 8th-grade science was 29.33% versus 34.19% for the state. Seventh-grade ELA is a relative bright spot at 45.95%, nearly matching the state’s 46.63%. Eighth-grade ELA is 25.33% versus 43.61% for the state, and 8th-grade math is reported as under 10%, compared with 20.29% for the state; the exact school value is suppressed, so it should not be treated as zero. Sixth-grade math is 26.09% versus 31.89% for the state, and 7th-grade math is 23.29% versus 26.93%. It reports 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility, and its student-teacher ratio rose from 13.4 to 15.3 between 2022–2023 and 2024–2025.

Overall, this is a high-poverty school that is a relative strength within a very low-ranked district but still below New Mexico averages. Its decade-long rank decline and recent drop to 1 star suggest improvement efforts should sustain the 7th-grade ELA strength while addressing 8th-grade math and ELA. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: Hispanic students improved to the 43rd percentile, male students are served at a higher relative level than female students, and White students and female students are in lower effectiveness ranges, while low-socioeconomic-status students remain near the school’s overall level. Because no nearby-school data were available, the most valuable future comparisons would be middle-school ELA, math, science, subgroup effectiveness, and student-teacher ratio.
