MAGDALENA

Located at 201 Duggins Drive in Magdalena, New Mexico, Magdalena Public Schools is an active, traditional public school district serving its local community across three operational campuses. Situated in a distinctly remote rural setting, the district provides a continuous academic pathway spanning from pre-kindergarten all the way through twelfth grade. As an independent, non-charter district, Magdalena offers families a close-knit learning environment that combines early childhood development with a comprehensive elementary, middle, and high school curriculum tailored to its unique geographic context.

According to federal educational data for the 2024–2025 school year, the district serves a diverse student body of 297 learners, comprising 146 Hispanic, 86 American Indian, and 56 White students, alongside multi-racial and Black student representation. To support this student population, the district maintains a remarkably robust staffing model, employing approximately 135 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This workforce includes nearly 50 FTE classroom teachers, 12 instructional aides, and over 73 support personnel. This high proportion of educators and support staff relative to student enrollment ensures a highly personalized academic environment, providing students in this rural district with small class sizes and extensive individual attention.
