Summary:
Zip code 87714 covers Cimarron, New Mexico, and lists three public schools serving PK through 12th grade, all within Cimarron Municipal Schools: Cimarron Elementary (PK–4, 60 students), Cimarron Middle (5–8, 46 students), and Cimarron High (9–12, 64 students), for a total of 170 students. All three report 100% free/reduced lunch for 2024–2025, and student–teacher ratios are low, between 7.8 and 8.9.
Cimarron Middle is the standout, and the only school here with multiple 5-star ratings — ranking 16 of 192 in 2024–2025 and 14 of 165 in 2023–2024, both in the 92nd percentile statewide. Its science results are especially strong: 75% proficient in 2024–2025 versus 35.14% statewide, and 64.29% for 8th-grade science in 2025–2026 versus 34.33% statewide. Cimarron High is solidly top-quartile, rated 4 stars each year, and above the state in visible 11th-grade ELA and science, though below its district average in those same subjects. Cimarron Elementary shows the biggest gap between reputation and recent results: it reached the 95th percentile with 5 stars in 2021–2022, but its latest visible all-grade ELA scores (33.33%) fall below both district and state.
Two cautions matter for families. First, school-level math results are suppressed by the state for the high school (all-grade and 11th-grade rows) and the elementary school (all-grade, 3rd- and 4th-grade rows), so those math pictures are unknown rather than weak; at the district level, SAT School Day math is reported only as under 20%. Second, cohorts are tiny — 46 to 64 students — so a few students can swing a percentage sharply. The clearest conclusions are that the middle school ranks among New Mexico's top 10% and that the middle and high schools post above-state results in several visible subjects despite the high-poverty context.
