Summary:

Zip code 87301 (Gallup, New Mexico) contains 17 schools — 8 elementary, 3 middle, 5 high and 1 alternative — serving roughly 8,927 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, most of them in Gallup-McKinley City Schools, a district ranked 60th of 87 statewide. Three schools operate outside that district: Hozho Academy, Middle College High School Charter - Gallup and Six Directions Indigenous School. Poverty indicators are high: the average free/reduced lunch rate is about 84.1%, with 14 of 17 schools at or above 80%. Enrollment ranges from Gallup Central Alternative (1,244) and Miyamura High School (1,237) down to Six Directions Indigenous School (58).

Performance varies sharply within the same zip code. Red Rock Elementary is the standout, ranking 35th of 346 elementaries (90th percentile, 5 stars), with Jefferson Elementary and Indian Hills Elementary at 4 stars and Twin Lakes Elementary at 3 stars, all above state averages in several subjects. Gallup Middle is the strongest middle school (75th of 191, 3 stars), ahead of John F. Kennedy Middle and Chief Manuelito Middle. Among high schools, Middle College High School Charter - Gallup has the strongest outcomes (45th of 132, 3 stars, 91.4% graduation rate) and Miyamura High School leads traditional high schools (83.5%), while Gallup High (122nd of 132, 0 stars) and Gallup Central Alternative (127th of 131, 0 stars) rank near the bottom. Stagecoach Elementary (312th of 346) and Tobe Turpen Elementary (248th of 346) are the lowest-ranked elementaries.

Math is the clearest area-wide weakness, especially in secondary grades: Gallup High's 11th-grade math is 6.76%, Miyamura's is 12.5%, and Gallup Central Alternative and Middle College report only "under 20%." Science is a relative bright spot at Red Rock, Middle College, Gallup Middle, Jefferson and Hozho Academy. Several schools are improving (Red Rock, Jefferson, Twin Lakes, Del Norte Elementary), while Gallup High and Stagecoach have stayed low. High poverty does not automatically mean low performance: Red Rock, Jefferson and Indian Hills pair high free/reduced lunch rates with strong results. Suppressed values are unknown, not zero, and Six Directions Indigenous School has all current test scores suppressed.
