Eunice

The Eunice Municipal Schools district in New Mexico consists of three schools: Mettie Jordan Elementary, Eunice High, and Caton Middle. While the district as a whole is ranked 93 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating, Eunice High stands out as the top performer, ranking 51 out of 170 high schools and earning a 4-star rating.

The schools in the Eunice Municipal Schools district serve a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the majority at all three schools. The schools also have high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.62% at Eunice High to 70.81% at Mettie Jordan Elementary and Caton Middle. This suggests that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which may present additional challenges in terms of resource allocation and student support.

While Eunice High has shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking and rating, the elementary and middle schools in the district continue to struggle, with both Mettie Jordan Elementary and Caton Middle ranked in the bottom third of their respective school types in the state. This indicates that the Eunice Municipal Schools district may need to focus on addressing challenges at the lower grade levels to ensure a more consistent quality of education across the system.
