Hagerman

The Hagerman school district in New Mexico consists of three schools: Hagerman Elementary, Hagerman High, and Hagerman Middle. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in the Hagerman community.

Among the three schools, Hagerman Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 59th out of 235 New Mexico middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rate of 60% is significantly higher than the district and state averages, and it has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 7.5, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.

In contrast, Hagerman Elementary and Hagerman High have lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state, indicating potential areas for improvement. Additionally, all three schools have very high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 97.37% at Hagerman High to 100% at Hagerman Elementary and Hagerman Middle, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges in the Hagerman community that may contribute to the lower academic performance observed in some areas.
