Dora High
Summary:

ZIP code 88115 has just one high school: Dora High, a small combined junior/senior high serving grades 7–12 in the rural community of Dora, New Mexico, with 94 students enrolled. It is the only school in Dora Municipal Schools, and that district ranks 11th out of 87 in New Mexico — the 87th percentile — with 4 stars. Because there is only one school here, there is no local comparison to make; the useful comparison is against the state.

Academically, math is the clearest standout. In 2025–2026, all-grades NM-MSSA math proficiency was 61.54% at Dora High versus 27.85% statewide, and 11th-grade SAT math proficiency was 50% versus 12.53% statewide. Seventh-grade math was 68.75%, compared with 26.93% statewide. English language arts is consistently above state as well: 2025–2026 all-grades NM-MSSA ELA was 61.54% versus 44.66% statewide, and 11th-grade SAT ELA was 55.56% versus 37.07%. Science is mixed but generally above state — 66.67% in 2024–2025 against 35.14% statewide, and 42.86% in 2025–2026 against 33.62%. Dora High has earned 4 stars in every available year, staying in the top quarter of ranked New Mexico schools (80th percentile in 2025–2026, 78th in 2023–2024, and 87th in 2022–2023). One caution: in 2025–2026 all-grades results, the school trailed its own district in ELA (71.08% district) and science (50% district).

Families should weigh a few practical points. Enrollment is very small, so year-to-year swings — like all-grades math moving from 44% in 2024–2025 to 61.54% in 2025–2026 — can be larger than at a big school. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 5.6, and 45.74% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The most recent school-level graduation rate shown is 91.9% from 2020–2021; the 2024–2025 figure of 80.6% is state-only and not directly comparable, so recent school-level graduation performance is unavailable here. Eighth-grade language arts, math, and science values are marked “—”, meaning the state suppressed them to protect student privacy. Treat those as unknown, not as poor performance.
