Cobre

The Cobre Consolidated Schools district in New Mexico serves 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant challenges, with most schools performing below average statewide, but there are also some standout schools that offer insights for improvement.

San Lorenzo Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 86th out of 435 New Mexico elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating. It has the highest percentage of white students (39.71%) and the second-best student-teacher ratio (10.3) among the elementary schools. In contrast, the other elementary schools in the district have more average or below-average rankings, suggesting an opportunity to learn from San Lorenzo's practices and apply them to the other schools.

Overall, the Cobre Consolidated Schools district faces significant challenges, with all schools rated 2 stars or less by SchoolDigger. The 100% free and reduced lunch rate across all schools highlights the high poverty levels faced by the student population, which may be a key factor in the overall low performance. Additionally, the relatively high student-teacher ratios, especially at the middle and high school levels, may indicate staffing challenges that could be impacting the quality of education. Addressing these issues could be important steps in improving student outcomes across the district.
