Summary:
The city of Kirtland, New Mexico is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Central Consolidated Schools district. While the schools share some common challenges, such as a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Judy Nelson Elementary is the highest-ranked school in the data set, ranking 200 out of 435 New Mexico elementary schools in 2022-2023 and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Kirtland Central High has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 83 out of 181 New Mexico high schools in 2018-2019 to 127 out of 170 in 2022-2023, which could be an area of concern.
