Summary:

The 88352 zip code area is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Tularosa Municipal Schools district. While the district is ranked 106 out of 119 in New Mexico and has a 1-star rating, the schools in this area do not have any clear standout performers, with all exhibiting relatively low academic metrics compared to state averages.

Among the schools, Tularosa Middle appears to be the highest-performing, with the best test scores and a higher statewide ranking among middle schools. However, all the schools in the 88352 zip code area have significantly lower proficiency rates in Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages. Additionally, the schools serve a student population with very high rates of economic disadvantage, with 90-95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The data also reveals a concerning trend of declining performance over time, with Tularosa High dropping from a 3-star rating to a 1-star rating in recent years. Despite the low-performing status of the schools, there does not appear to be any significant improvement in their test scores or statewide rankings, raising questions about the district's ability to effectively address the challenges faced by these schools and provide equitable educational opportunities to all students.
