List of school districts in New Mexico
This is a complete list of school districts in the State of New Mexico.

Chaves County
Cibola County
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]
