The rumors are rampant that Intel will actually close the Rio Ranch plant because of aged technology and no new equipment improvements since 2009. Seven years is a life time in technology improvements. However, much of the sting if that happens has already been felt and done with as they have already sliced the jobs from 3,300 to 1,900. I can see a loss of population of only around 10%. That will not have a severe impact on the school enrollments of either high school. So, don't expect the quality of their athletic programs to decrease.
