This is a complete list of school districts in the State of New Mexico.
All school districts are classified as separate governments by the U.S. Census Bureau. New Mexico has no school systems dependent on another layer of government.[1]
Due to an agreement between Cibola County and McKinley County, residents of the Ramah Navajo Indian Reservation are bussed to schools in Ramah in McKinley County (including Ramah Middle/High School), of Gallup-McKinley County Schools, even though the students are physically in Cibola County. This is due to the long distance of the nearest Cibola County schools away from the reservation.[2]
While the southeast portion of the county is in the Alamogordo district, that district contracts education of residents there to the Dell City Independent School District of Dell City, Texas,[3] due to the distances involved, as the mileage to Alamogordo from the former Cienega School was 100 miles (160 km) while the distance to Dell City is 20 miles (32 km).[4]
