Best Public Schools in Wagon Mound, NM

Summary:

The city of Wagon Mound, New Mexico is home to two small public schools: Wagon Mound Elementary and Wagon Mound High, both serving the Wagon Mound Public Schools district. These schools have faced significant challenges, with declining performance and high poverty levels among their student populations.

Both Wagon Mound Elementary and Wagon Mound High have very small enrollments, with just 43 and 40 students respectively. This suggests a tight-knit, community-based school system. However, the data also reveals that 100% of students at both schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Racially, the schools have a high concentration of Hispanic students, with much lower representation of white and African American students.

The historical school rankings for Wagon Mound Elementary and Wagon Mound High show a concerning trend of declining performance over time. Wagon Mound Elementary has dropped from a 3-star rating in 2013-2014 to a 1-star rating in the most recent year, while Wagon Mound High has seen a decline from a high of 4 stars in the mid-2000s to 2 stars more recently. These trends suggest the schools may be facing significant challenges in maintaining educational quality and student outcomes, likely exacerbated by the high poverty levels in the community.
