Capitan

The Capitan Municipal Schools district in New Mexico consists of three schools: Capitan Elementary, Capitan High, and Capitan Middle. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly white and Hispanic.

Among the standout schools in the district, Capitan Elementary shines, ranking in the top 25% of New Mexico elementary schools and consistently maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's low student-to-teacher ratio of 12 suggests a focus on personalized learning. Capitan High also stands out, ranking in the top third of New Mexico high schools and boasting an even lower student-to-teacher ratio of 10.4.

Across the district, the schools maintain a strong academic performance, with all three schools earning a 4-star or 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, however, suggests a relatively low-income student population, which may present both challenges and opportunities for the district in terms of resource allocation and targeted support. The close proximity of the schools may also facilitate collaboration and resource sharing, leading to more efficient use of resources and potentially better outcomes for students.
