Cobre

Summary:

The Cobre school district in New Mexico consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces significant economic challenges, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a few standout schools emerge from the data.

Hurley Elementary is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 75th out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools in 2023-2024 and earning a 4-star rating. It had the highest proficiency rates in the district across English Language Arts (64%), Mathematics (32%), and Science (50%). In contrast, San Lorenzo Elementary, a small school with 68 students, has a strong performance history, ranking 40th out of 396 New Mexico elementary schools in 2018-2019 and earning a 5-star rating. In 2022-2023, it had the highest proficiency rates in the district for Language Arts (56%) and Mathematics (33%).

However, the other schools in the Cobre district struggle, with proficiency rates well below state averages. For example, Cobre High School had a 76.7% four-year graduation rate in 2022-2023, which is below the state average, and only 21% proficiency in Language Arts and 5% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 38% and 24% respectively. This stark disparity in performance within the district suggests significant inequities that the district will need to address to provide a more equitable and high-quality education for all students.
