Schools in Zip Code 87801

ZIP code 87801 covers Socorro, New Mexico, where four schools serve roughly 1,151 students across the full PK–12 span: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, all part of Socorro Consolidated Schools. The district overall sits mid-pack statewide — 43rd of 87, or the 51st percentile, with 3 stars — but the individual schools inside it perform very differently from one another.

Cottonwood Valley Charter is the standout, serving grades K–8 with 4 stars and the 81st percentile in 2025–2026, and it has stayed strong for three years (88th, then 85th, then 81st). Its all-grades ELA proficiency is 61.11% and math 37.96%, well above district and state figures, and 7th grade ELA is at least 80% proficient. At the other end, Socorro Middle School earned 0 stars and ranked in the 6th percentile, with ELA at 22.87% and math at 13.23% — far below district and state. Among the other two, Socorro High jumped from 1 star and the 25th percentile to 3 stars near the 50th percentile, with science at 38.03% above the state's 34.02%, though its 75.8% graduation rate trails the state's 80.6%. Parkview Elementary sits at 2 stars and the 39th percentile, above district in math but below state in ELA, with 5th grade science at 24.07% a clear weak point.

Notably, poverty does not explain the gap: every school has free/reduced lunch rates between 97.74% and 100%, including Cottonwood at 100%. Student/teacher ratios range from 11.1 at Cottonwood to 15.2 at Socorro Middle. Also, several scores are suppressed and should be read as unknown rather than zero, and Socorro Middle's 8th grade math is reported only as under 20% proficient.
