Summary:
The Clovis school district in New Mexico is home to 11 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a stark contrast in the performance of these schools, with some standouts like Mesa Elementary and Zia Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while others like Lockwood Elementary and James Bickley Elementary struggle to meet state averages.
The top-performing schools, Mesa and Zia, boast impressive test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well above the Clovis and New Mexico averages. These schools also maintain 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and rank among the top 50 elementary schools in the state. In contrast, several other Clovis elementary schools, such as Parkview and James Bickley, struggle with significantly lower test scores and rankings.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as all but one of the Clovis elementary schools have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be a key focus for the district to ensure more equitable educational opportunities across all its elementary schools.
