Summary:
The city of Eunice, New Mexico is home to three public schools - one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. Based on the available data, the schools in Eunice appear to be consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low statewide rankings and test scores that fall well below state proficiency levels.
The Mettie Jordan Elementary and Caton Middle schools have particularly low rankings, placing in the bottom 20% and 25% of New Mexico schools respectively. All three Eunice schools struggle with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the schools serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 56% to 71%.
While the student-teacher ratios at the Eunice schools are relatively low, this does not appear to be translating to stronger academic performance. The data suggests the Eunice school district as a whole may benefit from targeted interventions and additional support to improve educational outcomes for its students. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges facing the community could also be a key factor in helping the schools in Eunice achieve greater success.
