Summary:

The 87325 zip code contains a single middle school, Tohatchi Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. This school is part of the Gallup school district and has consistently underperformed compared to state averages over the past three years.

Tohatchi Middle School is ranked 152 out of 192 middle schools in New Mexico and has a low 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels, with the largest gaps occurring in 8th grade Math (11.3% vs. 17.32%) and 7th grade ELA (23.33% vs. 43.93%). Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (94.66%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 3.8, which is better than the state average and may suggest smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. Despite this potential bright spot, the data indicates that Tohatchi Middle School is a low-performing school facing significant challenges, particularly in terms of academic proficiency and the economic disadvantages of its student population. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to improve educational outcomes for the students.
