Summary:

Zip code 87402 contains two high schools serving grades 9–12 — Piedra Vista High and San Juan College High School — both part of Farmington Municipal Schools, which ranks 62 of 87 in New Mexico at the 29th percentile with 2 stars. Together they enroll 1,811 students, with Piedra Vista the much larger school at 1,511 students versus 300 at San Juan College High.

San Juan College High School is the clear standout: a 4-star school ranked 24 of 132 (82nd percentile) in 2025–2026, after ranking 16 of 131 (88th percentile) in 2024–2025 and 2 of 170 (99th percentile) in 2022–2023. Its 11th-grade ELA is 74.29% versus 36.78% statewide, science is 75.71% versus 34.02% statewide, and math is 22.86% versus 12.72% statewide. Its 2023–2024 graduation rate was 99.5%, though no 2024–2025 school-level rate is provided here. Its rank has slipped from an earlier peak but remains elite. Piedra Vista High is middle-of-the-pack: ranked 70 of 132 (47th percentile) with 2 stars in 2025–2026, down from 55th percentile and 3 stars the prior year. Its science scores are its strength at 39.70% and 39.82%, above district and state, while its math is a serious weakness at 8.79% on NM Combined and 8.81% on SAT Math. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 82.1%, and it reports 100% free/reduced lunch.

Notably, San Juan College High has a higher student-teacher ratio (24.0) than Piedra Vista (17.7) yet far stronger results, so class size alone does not explain the difference. Some data is limited: San Juan's 10th-grade scores are suppressed by the state (“—”), its free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported, and its 2024–2025 school-level graduation rate is unavailable, so comparisons should be made cautiously.
