Summary

Zuni Middle School is a public middle school located in Zuni, New Mexico, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 249 students. The school is part of the Zuni District, which is ranked 81 out of 82 districts in New Mexico and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Zuni Middle School consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grades. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 39.82%, compared to the state average of 44.19%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 13.27%, significantly lower than the state average of 26.81%. The school's performance in Science is also concerning, with only 10.81% of 8th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34.46%.

While the school ranks relatively higher for Native American students, it ranks very low for English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's performance for female and male students is also concerning, with both groups ranking in the bottom half of New Mexico middle schools in recent years. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7 students per teacher, which could be an asset if leveraged effectively to provide more personalized support and interventions for struggling students.
