How New Mexico's elementary schools compare

A: 92B: 95C: 96D: 96F: 33

45% of the 412 ranked elementary schools in New Mexico earn an A or B (92 A grades, 95 B, 96 C, 96 D, 33 F), against 46% of elementary schools nationwide. 249 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (60% here, 70% nationally), and 158 exceed it. On average 34% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 32% (national averages: 46% actual, 37% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Roy Elementary (84% against 39%, A+), Sidney Gutierrez Middle (74% against 29%, A+), Des Moines Elementary (86% against 46%, A+), Texico Elementary (76% against 37%, A+), Altura Preparatory School (91% against 53%, A+).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 103): Albuquerque (20), Las Cruces (7), Los Alamos (5), Santa Fe (5).

Cities with the most ranked elementary schools: Albuquerque (99, 37 at A or B), Las Cruces (26, 15 at A or B), Santa Fe (22, 7 at A or B), Roswell (13, 8 at A or B), Hobbs (13, 6 at A or B).

The largest ranked elementary schools: George I Sanchez (1,221 students, D, #320), Tres Volcanes Community Collaborative School (934 students, B-, #164), Ernest Stapleton Elementary (815 students, A, #61).

Of the top 25, 0 are magnet schools and 4 are charters. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.

Elementary schools in New Mexico that are not ranked

81 graded elementary schools are listed here rather than ranked, each for the reason given. Every one has its own page with its full SchoolGrade report.

Special-purpose schools (3)

Alternative, special-education and vocational schools serve a different mission and a different student body, so they are graded but not ranked against regular schools.

A- Belen Family School, Belen

Very small schools (2)

Schools with fewer than 30 students have grades that swing on a handful of test results.
