Best Public Schools in Mosquero, NM

Summary:

The city of Mosquero, New Mexico is home to two schools: Mosquero High and Mosquero Elementary, both serving students in the Mosquero school district. While Mosquero High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, Mosquero Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 25 elementary schools in New Mexico and demonstrating strong academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts.

Mosquero Elementary boasts a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average. In contrast, Mosquero High School has seen its statewide ranking drop from 37th in 2021-2022 to 137th in 2022-2023, before rebounding to 54th in 2023-2024, suggesting potential changes in the school's performance over time. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic performance.

The data also reveals that a high percentage of students at both Mosquero High (52.08%) and Mosquero Elementary (37.5%) are recipients of free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This suggests a potential need to address the academic achievement gap as students progress from the elementary to the high school level, as the elementary school significantly outperforms the high school in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
