Best Public Schools in Dixon, NM

Summary:

The city of Dixon, New Mexico is home to a single public elementary school, Dixon Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Despite being the sole school in the area, Dixon Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 15% of elementary schools statewide and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dixon Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its test scores, which exceed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's 100% free and reduced lunch rate suggests it serves a predominantly low-income student population, making its strong performance all the more impressive. Additionally, the school maintains an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 7.7 to 1, likely contributing to its ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students.

While the Espanola school district as a whole is ranked 99 out of 119 districts in New Mexico and rated only 1 star, Dixon Elementary's consistent high rankings and ratings indicate it is overcoming the challenges facing the district and providing a quality education to its community. This makes Dixon Elementary a standout school in the area and a potential model for other schools in the region.
