DORA

Nestled at 100 School Street in Dora, New Mexico, the Dora school district serves as a vital educational anchor for its rural, remote community within the broader Clovis region. Operating as an active, traditional public school district across two school facilities, Dora provides a continuous academic pipeline serving children from prekindergarten all the way through 12th grade. The district offers a cohesive, community-centered setting where young learners transition seamlessly from early childhood education to high school graduation, benefiting from the stability and focus of a dedicated public school system.

With a focused student body of 220 learners—comprising 115 female and 105 male students—the district maintains small, engaging classroom settings across every grade level. The student population reflects its local community, including 145 White, 51 Hispanic, and 17 multiracial students, as well as Black, Asian, and American Indian peers. A defining feature of the district is its exceptional level of staffing context: Dora employs nearly 54 full-time equivalent teachers alongside dedicated instructional aides and support staff, resulting in a total workforce of over 100 professionals. This remarkable educator-to-student presence allows for highly personalized instruction, tailored academic interventions, and strong community relationships that support every student's success.
