Summary:
The city of Hagerman, New Mexico is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Hagerman Elementary, Hagerman High, and Hagerman Middle. While the schools vary in size, with Hagerman Elementary being the largest, Hagerman Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the Hagerman district.
Hagerman Middle School boasts a strong 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 59th out of 235 New Mexico middle schools, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (60%) and Science (39%) compared to the other Hagerman schools and the state averages. Additionally, the school has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 7.5, suggesting more individualized attention for students.
While the Hagerman schools face challenges, such as low Mathematics proficiency rates across the district and a relatively low graduation rate at Hagerman High School, the data indicates that the Hagerman district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with all three schools reporting 100% free and reduced lunch recipients. By focusing on the strengths of Hagerman Middle School and addressing the unique needs of the district's students, the Hagerman schools can work towards providing a more equitable and high-quality education for all.
