GALLUP

Headquartered at 640 S. Boardman in Gallup, New Mexico, the Gallup school district operates as an open, regular non-charter public school system providing comprehensive educational services across a predominantly rural remote landscape. Serving learners from pre-kindergarten all the way through 12th grade, the district oversees a network of 33 operational schools designed to support academic and personal growth at every developmental stage. Situated within the greater Gallup metropolitan area, where over 50 percent of the surrounding territory is classified as rural, the district occupies a vital position in the regional community. Parents, students, and researchers can learn more about local educational initiatives by visiting the district’s web portal at gmcs.org or by calling their central administrative office at (505) 721-1000.

Within the context of the 2024–2025 federal profile, the district serves a substantial student body of 12,809 children, maintained with a balanced distribution of 6,412 male and 6,397 female learners. The demographic makeup strongly reflects the vibrant heritage of the region, anchored by a prominent American Indian majority of nearly 8,000 students, alongside significant Hispanic, White, and multiracial student communities. Enrollment remains robust from early childhood through graduation, with secondary grade cohorts consistently averaging over 1,100 students per grade from 8th through 12th. Regarding operational personnel, full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing context for teachers, instructional aides, and support personnel is currently unrecorded or listed at zero in this federal dataset cycle, pointing to administrative data reporting cycles rather than an absence of frontline educators.
