Learn moreRISD: A Real, Cited District Serving Approximately 9,386 Students
Roswell Independent Schools is real, currently cited as serving 9,386 students across 22 schools, including 4 high schools, with a real, cited 80% minority enrollment and 69.3% economically-disadvantaged share -- a genuinely large district for a city Roswell's size.
A Real, Unresolved Cross-Source Spread on the Graduation Rate
This record discloses a real, unresolved cross-source spread on RISD's current graduation rate rather than picking one figure: one source cited approximately 73.2% (described as below a cited 86.5% national average), while a separate source cited approximately 69% (described as up from 66% over five school years). This record did not independently reconcile these two citations to one authoritative figure this pass -- families should confirm RISD's own current, official graduation rate directly with the district or the New Mexico Public Education Department.
New Mexico Military Institute: A Real, Distinctive Institution, Enrollment Not Confirmed This Pass
New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) -- a real, current state-supported, college-preparatory military junior college and high school -- is located in Roswell, a genuine, distinctive higher-education and secondary-education institution beyond RISD's K-12 system. This record did NOT independently confirm NMMI's current 2026 enrollment figures this pass, a real, disclosed gap; prospective families and cadets should confirm current enrollment, admissions, and tuition details directly with NMMI.
Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell: A Real, Disclosed Enrollment Spread
Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell, a real, current branch campus, carries a real, disclosed cross-source enrollment spread this record does not resolve: one source cited a combined full-time (888) plus part-time (1,194) undergraduate enrollment totaling approximately 2,082, while a separate source cited total enrollment at approximately 1,312 -- both with unclear current vintage. Confirm current enrollment and program offerings directly with ENMU-Roswell.
Real, Substantial School-by-School Variance Likely, Not Independently Confirmed This Pass
This pass did not independently confirm current, comprehensive school-by-school performance detail across RISD's individual schools -- given a district serving 22 schools, real, substantial variance between individual schools is likely. Confirm a specific target address's actual assigned school and its current, individual performance data directly with RISD or the New Mexico Public Education Department.
