Schools in Zip Code 88352

Zip code 88352 is Tularosa, New Mexico, home to four public schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade in Tularosa Municipal Schools: Tularosa Elementary (PK–2), Tularosa Intermediate (3–6), Tularosa Middle (listed 7–8), and Tularosa High (9–12), with total enrollment of 883 students.

The district as a whole ranks 69 of 87 in New Mexico — the 21st percentile, 1 star — but individual schools differ sharply. Tularosa Intermediate is the strongest current performer, with Language Arts at 51.02% and math at 31.12% proficient, both above district and state, and a climb from the 32nd percentile (2 stars) to the 54th percentile (3 stars). Tularosa High posts a 91.4% graduation rate versus the state's 80.6%, and improved to the 50th percentile with 3 stars. Tularosa Elementary shows strong ELA at 48.65%, about 5 points above state. Tularosa Middle is the urgent concern, falling to 0 stars and the 4th percentile, with ELA at 23.81%, math at 7.18%, and grade-level math only given as under 10% or under 20%.

Math is a district-wide weak point in middle and high school, while Intermediate is the exception. Poverty is high where reported — near or at 100% free/reduced lunch — yet several schools still exceed state ELA results. Note that Tularosa Middle's free/reduced lunch figure is not reported and should be treated as unknown, not zero; its grade-level math is reported only as bounds; Elementary has no current math or science data; and its rank history is from 2004–2006, so it is not useful for current comparisons.
