School Overview
Magdalena Middle School is located in the small, rural village of Magdalena, New Mexico, and serves as a key educational institution within the Magdalena Municipal School District. Situated at 201 Duggins Drive, the school functions as a community-centered hub, providing middle-level education to students in a region defined by its rugged landscape and close-knit population. As part of a small district, the school emphasizes a personalized approach to learning, aiming to support the academic and social development of its students during their transition from elementary to high school.

The school operates under the broader mission of the Magdalena Municipal School District, which focuses on preparing students for future success through a blend of traditional academics and community values.
