Tucumcari

The Tucumcari Public Schools district in New Mexico consists of three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high levels of economic need, as evidenced by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate across all schools.

Tucumcari High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 49th out of 170 New Mexico high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Tucumcari Middle School also performs above average, ranking 77th out of 239 New Mexico middle schools and earning a 3-star rating. While Tucumcari Elementary maintains a consistent 3-star rating, the district's schools have demonstrated a stable level of performance over the past few years.

The high poverty levels and diverse student population in the Tucumcari Public Schools district present both challenges and opportunities. The district will likely need to focus on ensuring equitable educational opportunities and addressing the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged and racially diverse student body to continue improving student outcomes.
