Best Public Schools in Carrizozo, NM

Summary:

The city of Carrizozo, New Mexico is home to three schools: Carrizozo Elementary, Carrizozo High, and Carrizozo Middle. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade within the Carrizozo school district.

Carrizozo Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of New Mexico elementary schools and outperforming the state average in English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Carrizozo High has seen a significant decline in performance, dropping from the top 25% of New Mexico high schools to the bottom 25% in recent years, with a graduation rate below the state average.

Across all three Carrizozo schools, the data reveals a concerning trend - a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. This finding suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the educational and socioeconomic needs of the Carrizozo community. Additionally, the small enrollment numbers, ranging from 32 to 72 students per school, present both opportunities and challenges in terms of personalized attention and resource allocation.
