ZIP code 88045 covers Lordsburg, New Mexico, where Lordsburg Municipal Schools serves about 403 students across three public schools spanning PK through 12th grade: R.V. Traylor Elementary (PK–4, 158 students), Dugan-Tarango Middle (5–8, 124 students), and Lordsburg High (9–12, 121 students). All three report 100% free/reduced lunch, and student-teacher ratios are small, ranging from 12.1 at the elementary school to 10.1 at the high school.
Among the three, Dugan-Tarango Middle posts the strongest current English language arts result, with all-grades ELA proficiency of 32.74%, above the district's 30.64% but below the state's 44.66%; its math is 13.27% and science 26.67%. R.V. Traylor Elementary shows the clearest ranking improvement over its history — 21st to 6th to 41st percentile from 2021–22 through 2023–24 — but its all-grades ELA slipped from 41.3% to 26.67%, and math is under 20%. Lordsburg High has the brightest single number, an 82.8% graduation rate for 2023–2024, yet its rank fell from 62nd percentile / 3 stars to 10th percentile / 1 star, with 11th-grade ELA at 26.92% and science at 28%; math and SAT results are suppressed.
Across the district, math is the widest gap: district proficiency is 9.83% versus the state's 27.85%, while ELA trails by about 14 points and science by about 6.6 points. Science gaps also widen by grade, from 5th-grade science at 31.82%, close to the state's 32.24%, to 8th grade at 23.68% versus 34.33%. Many figures are marked "—" because the state suppressed them to protect privacy in these small cohorts, so those areas should be treated as unknown rather than as failures.
