Summary:
The Clovis school district in New Mexico is home to three middle schools that serve students in grades 6-8. Based on the available data, two of these schools - W.D. Gattis Middle School and Marshall 6th Grade Academy - stand out as the top performers in the district, while Yucca Middle School lags behind.
W.D. Gattis Middle School consistently ranks in the top third of New Mexico middle schools and outperforms the Clovis district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. It also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. Marshall 6th Grade Academy also stands out, with impressive scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed the district and state averages, though it has experienced some fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating in recent years.
In contrast, Yucca Middle School lags behind the other Clovis middle schools and the state averages in all subject areas, particularly in Mathematics. This school's consistently low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests that it may require additional support and resources to improve student outcomes. Notably, all three Clovis middle schools have a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
