Schools in Zip Code 88330

ZIP 88330 covers Holloman Air Force Base in southern New Mexico and is served by two public schools, both in the Alamogordo Public Schools district: Holloman Elementary, serving grades PK–5 with 517 students, and Holloman Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 173 students. Both are small schools, and the elementary school enrolls noticeably more students per grade than the middle school.

Both schools perform strongly and run well ahead of their district and state. Holloman Middle ranked 9th of 191 New Mexico middle schools in 2025-2026 (95th percentile, 5 stars), with 75% of students proficient in English language arts and 65% in math — more than double the state's math rate. Holloman Elementary ranked 33rd of 346 elementary schools (90th percentile, 5 stars), with 68.45% proficient in ELA and 50.79% in math. Those figures are roughly 22–25 percentage points above district and state in both subjects, and the middle school's math rate sits almost 40 points above the state. Both schools have held 5-star ratings across all three years of ranking history, which suggests the results are structural rather than a single strong year.

Worth watching: science proficiency fell year over year at both schools — elementary 5th grade from 67.19% to 59.32%, and middle school 8th grade from 74.42% to 64.44% — though both remain far above the state. Middle school math also slides down the grades (71.19% in 6th, 66.07% in 7th, 55.56% in 8th) while ELA rises, whereas elementary math is remarkably even across grades. Class sizes differ: 17.8 students per teacher at the elementary school versus 11.9 at the middle school. The elementary school reports a 100% free/reduced-lunch rate, while the middle school's rate is not reported. The enrollment drop from 517 to 173 between the two schools is consistent with the student mobility typical of a military base.
