Summary:
ZIP code 88115 covers Dora, New Mexico, and includes two schools: Dora Elementary, serving grades PK–6 with 126 students, and Dora High, serving grades 7–12 with 94 students, which means the middle grades 7 and 8 are reported at the high school rather than at a separate middle school. Both schools are in the Dora Municipal Schools district and share the same address at 100 School St. Together they enroll 220 students, so these are small schools where one class can swing a percentage noticeably.
Both schools perform well above the New Mexico average and do so consistently. In 2025–2026, Dora Elementary ranked 30th of 346 elementary schools — the 91st percentile, 5 stars — up from 44th of 345 the year before, while Dora High ranked 27th of 132 high schools, the 80th percentile with 4 stars. Across all grades, Dora Elementary's language arts proficiency was 75.44% versus 43.34% statewide, and its math was 54.39% versus 25.54%. Dora High posted 56.82% in math versus 25.54% statewide, 59.09% in ELA versus 43.34%, and 42.86% in science versus 33.40%.
The two schools split their strengths: Dora Elementary leads in ELA (75.44% versus the district's 68.32%), while Dora High leads in math (56.82% versus 55.45%). Highlights include at least 80% proficiency in 3rd and 4th grade ELA at Dora Elementary, 7th grade math at 68.75% (state 26.93%), and 11th grade math and SAT math both at 50.00% (state 12.72% and 12.53%). Some values are suppressed by the state — Dora Elementary's 3rd grade math and Dora High's 8th grade ELA, math, and science — so those are unknown, not weaknesses. Free/reduced lunch rates are similar (46.83% and 45.74%), and Dora High's student–teacher ratio of 5.6 is much lower than the elementary's 12.5. The district ranks 11th of 87 statewide.
