The 88401 zip code area of Tucumcari, New Mexico is home to three schools: Tucumcari Elementary, Tucumcari High, and Tucumcari Middle. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Tucumcari Public Schools district.

Among the three schools, Tucumcari High School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 49th out of 170 New Mexico high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school outperformed the state average in Language Arts and Science proficiency, though it underperformed in Mathematics.

The middle school outperformed the state averages in Language Arts and Mathematics, but fell short in Science.

In contrast, Tucumcari Elementary lagged behind the other two schools, with below-average test scores across all subject areas. This suggests a need for additional support or interventions to improve student outcomes at the elementary level. Notably, all three schools have a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations in the 88401 zip code area.
