Best Public Schools in Cubero, NM

Summary:

The city of Cubero, New Mexico is home to a single public elementary school, Cubero Elementary, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 199 students. This school stands out for its predominantly Native American student population, comprising 85.43% of the student body, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite the economic challenges faced by the community, as evidenced by the school's 100% free and reduced lunch rate, Cubero Elementary has shown improvement in its state-wide ranking, moving from a 1-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 3-star rating in the most recent 2022-2023 school year.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Grants-Cibola County Schools District, Cubero Elementary has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.6, which is better than 5 other schools in the district. This suggests that the school may have more resources and support available for its students. However, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students remains a significant challenge that the school must address to ensure the success of its predominantly Native American student population.

Overall, Cubero Elementary stands out as a school serving a unique and underserved community, with a focus on supporting its Native American students and working to improve academic performance despite the economic barriers faced by the student population. The school's progress in its state-wide ranking and favorable student-teacher ratio are positive indicators, but the high level of economic need among the students remains a critical factor that the school and the broader community must continue to address.
