Summary:

Zip code 88135 is home to three public schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade — Texico Elementary (PK–5, 246 students), Texico Middle (6–8, 137 students), and Texico High (9–12, 168 students) — all part of Texico Municipal Schools in Texico, New Mexico, and all sharing the same campus address. Together they enroll 551 students. The district itself ranks 7th of 87 in New Mexico, at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars.

Among the three, Texico Middle is the standout: 6th of 191 schools statewide, 97th percentile, 5 stars, with math proficiency of 73.55% against a state rate of 25.54%, and 7th-grade math at 85.71%. Texico Elementary is close behind at 14th of 346, 96th percentile, also 5 stars, with 78.05% proficient in ELA versus 43.34% statewide and 64.52% in math versus 25.54%. Texico High is the relative laggard by rank — 31st of 132, 77th percentile, 4 stars — but still posts a 93.7% graduation rate against 80.6% statewide and has the smallest classes, with a student-teacher ratio of 7.9 versus 12.3 at the middle school and 13.5 at the elementary.

Every tested subject at all three schools comes in above the state average, with the biggest advantages in math. Recent trends differ by school: the middle school gained ground in ELA, math, and science, while the elementary and high schools slipped modestly from the prior year yet remain well above New Mexico averages. Note that free/reduced-lunch information is not reported for any of the three schools, so economic context could not be assessed here.
