Summary:
ZIP code 87552 is served by three public schools — Pecos Elementary (PK–5), Pecos Middle (6–8), and Pecos High (9–12) — all part of Pecos Independent Schools, with a combined listed enrollment of 434 and no alternative school listed in the area.
All three schools currently sit in the bottom quartile of SchoolDigger rankings and hold 1 star: Pecos Elementary at the 19th percentile, Pecos Middle at the 20th, and Pecos High at the 16th. Pecos Elementary is the relative academic leader among reported scores, beating the district in all-grade ELA (36% vs 32.12%) and math (15% vs 10.36%), and its 3rd grade ELA is 50%, above the state; even so, its all-grade ELA and math remain below state, and its 5th grade results are notably lower. Pecos Middle shows the clearest academic need: math under 10% and science under 20% at all grades, the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 90.91%, and the highest student-teacher ratio at 21.9. Pecos High is a mixed picture — many ELA and math results are suppressed, but 11th grade science is near state and its graduation rate of 81.2% is slightly above the state's 80.6%.
Two patterns stand out. First, both secondary schools dropped from 2 stars to 1 star in their latest available ranking year, while Pecos Elementary has been 1 star across its available years. Second, poverty indicators and student-teacher ratios roughly double at the secondary level — Elementary is 46.91% and 11.4, versus about 89% and 21.5–21.9 at Middle and High — which is useful context, though the data do not establish cause. Be aware that several test-score cells are suppressed and marked —, and figures like under 10% and under 20% are bounds, not exact rates.
