MAGDALENA MIDDLE SCHOOL

MAGDALENA MIDDLE is a Title I public middle school that is part of the MAGDALENA school district, located in MAGDALENA, NM with about 95 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, MAGDALENA MIDDLE has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

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. Because it is located in a remote area of New Mexico, the school plays a vital role in local life, often fostering strong partnerships between educators, families, and the wider community.
