Lovington Grade School faces several challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.8%, which is higher than the state average.

Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.8 and spending $13,809 per student, which is higher than the state average, Lovington Grade School serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with 68.75% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
