Summary:
ZIP code 88045 is home to a single high school, Lordsburg High, which serves grades 9–12 in Lordsburg, New Mexico as part of Lordsburg Municipal Schools. With just 121 students, it is a small school where all comparisons must be made against district and state benchmarks rather than other local high schools.
Several features stand out. The school reports 100% free/reduced lunch participation in 2024–2025 and a student–teacher ratio of 10.1, implying roughly 12 teachers. Its state ranking fell sharply, from 3 stars and about the 60th percentile in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 to 1 star and the 10th percentile in 2024–2025. Available 11th-grade results for 2025–2026 show Language Arts at 26.92% versus the state's 36.78%, Science at 26.92% versus 34.02% on NM Combined, and Science at 28% versus 34.27% on NM-ASR. Notably, 11th-grade NM-ASR Science rose slightly from 27.03% in 2024–2025 to 28% while the state fell from 41.69% to 34.27%, narrowing the gap from about 14.7 points to about 6.3 points below state. The last reported school graduation rate was 82.8% in 2023–2024, matching the district and above the latest statewide figure of 80.6% for 2024–2025.
Parents should weigh these results with one important caveat: many school-level scores, especially in Mathematics and SAT School Day tests, are marked "—" because the state suppressed them to protect student privacy in a small population. Suppressed values are unknown, not zero. The district's all-grade math proficiency of 9.55% versus the state's 25.54% is a district figure and cannot be read as the school's exact rate. Overall, this is a very small, high-need school with a favorable staffing ratio, a graduation rate that looks comparatively solid, and test scores below state levels but not dramatically so in the subjects where data is available.
