Summary:
ZIP code 87313 has just one middle school: Crownpoint Middle, which serves grades 6–8 to 226 students in the Gallup-McKinley City Schools district, where 80.53% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025 and the reported student-teacher ratio was 4.8. The district ranks 60th of 87 in New Mexico, placing it in the 31st percentile with 2 stars, and the school itself has held 2 stars across three years, sitting at the 35th percentile in 2025–2026 — in the bottom third of ranked state middle schools, though its percentile edged up slightly from 33 to 35.
The clearest bright spot is math. Seventh grade math proficiency was 32.00%, well above the district's roughly 22.4% and the state's roughly 27%, making it the strongest single result for this school. Eighth grade math was also solid at 21.43% versus 18.58% district and 20.50% state, and all-grade math climbed from 17.92% to 25.37% year over year, narrowing the gap with the state. Science in 2024–2025 was above district at 28.89% versus 25.93%, and the very low student-teacher ratio of 4.8 is a notable resource figure, though it should be read with caution without more staffing context.
English language arts is the main relative challenge. All-grade ELA fell from 34.91% to 25.76%, compared with 39.37% district and 44.66% state — about 13.6 points below district and 18.9 below state — while 8th grade ELA came in at 26.19% versus 40.09% district and 43.85% state. Science also slipped, from 28.89% to 26.19%, dropping below the district's 29.77%. Seventh grade ELA is suppressed by the state, so it is unknown and should not be read as a weakness. Overall, the trend is split: math up sharply, literacy and science down.
