Best High Schools in Zip Code 87401

ZIP code 87401 in Farmington, New Mexico has three high schools serving grades 6–12 or 9–12 — Farmington High, Navajo Preparatory School, and Rocinante High — with a combined enrollment of 2,177 students.

Farmington High is by far the largest school, with 1,747 students, or about 80% of all high-school enrollment in the ZIP. It has the most complete data available, a graduation rate of 80.7% that is essentially at the state level of 80.6% but slightly below the district's 82.2%, and a stable ranking of 2 stars in each of the last three years. Its test scores, however, sit below both district and state — for example, 11th-grade math proficiency is 8.58%, compared with 9.58% district and 12.72% state. Rocinante High is the smallest school, with 133 students, and serves grades 6–12. It has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 8.5 and the lowest graduation rate at 73.2%, which is 9.0 points below the district and 7.4 points below the state. Its ranking fell sharply from 3 stars and the 59th percentile in 2023–24 to 0 stars and the 5th percentile in 2025–26, and its reported English language arts and science scores are around 20% or lower, with math reported only as under 20%.

Navajo Preparatory School enrolls 297 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 12.3, but it has no ranking, graduation rate, or test-score data in this data set, so its academic performance is unknown rather than weak. All three schools report very high economic need: free and reduced lunch is 100% at Farmington High and Rocinante High and 98.99% at Navajo Preparatory School. Both district schools belong to Farmington Municipal Schools, which ranks 62 of 87 districts statewide, at the 29th percentile with 2 stars. Math is the clearest shared weakness across the ZIP.
