The federal directory lists 7 public schools in Moriarty, NM: 3 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high, 1 combined or other. The 7 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 2,361 students, an average of 337 per school.

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 13.5:1, higher than the statewide school median of 12.4:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 100% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
