Summary:
ZIP code 87402 is home to two high schools serving grades 9–12 — Piedra Vista High and San Juan College High School — both part of Farmington Municipal Schools, a district ranked 62 of 87 in New Mexico (29th percentile, 2 stars). Together they enroll 1,811 students, with Piedra Vista accounting for 1,511 (83.4%) and San Juan College High School 300 (16.6%). There are no elementary or middle schools in this ZIP.
The two schools look very different in the data. San Juan College High School is the standout: 24 of 132 statewide in 2025–2026 (82nd percentile, 4 stars), after 16 of 131 (88th percentile) the prior year and 2 of 170 (99th percentile, 5 stars) in 2022–2023. Its 11th-grade ELA proficiency is 74.29% and Science is 75.71%, both more than double the state's 36.78% and 34.02%. Its 11th-grade Math (22.86%) is roughly double district (9.58%) and state (12.72%), though fewer than one in four students are proficient. Its last reported graduation rate was 99.5% (2023–2024). By contrast, Piedra Vista High ranked 70 of 132 in 2025–2026 (47th percentile, 2 stars), down from 55th percentile and 3 stars the year before. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 82.1%, and it reports 100% free/reduced lunch.
Science is a relative strength at Piedra Vista High (39.70% in 11th grade, above district and state), while Math is a clear weakness — 8.79% in 2025–2026, below district and state, and down from 14.12% the prior year. Note that the two schools' graduation rates come from different years, so they aren't directly comparable, and San Juan's 10th-grade ELA and Math values are suppressed, meaning they should be treated as unknown. Also interesting: San Juan has the higher student-teacher ratio (24:1 vs 17.7:1) yet far higher proficiency, and its all-grades Math (23.94%) sits slightly below district and state, which is why 11th-grade figures are the better comparison point.
