Summary:
The Floyd school district in New Mexico consists of three small schools: Floyd Elementary, Floyd Middle, and Floyd High. These schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.15% at Floyd Elementary to 91.84% at Floyd High.
Despite these challenges, the Floyd schools have maintained consistent academic performance, with all three schools earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Floyd Elementary stands out, ranking 159 out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools and outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Floyd Middle also excels, ranking 89 out of 235 New Mexico middle schools and surpassing the state average in Science proficiency.
The small enrollments and low student-teacher ratios at the Floyd schools, ranging from 12 to 1 at the elementary and middle schools, may contribute to their academic success. While the schools struggle with Mathematics proficiency, they perform well in other areas, suggesting opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices within the district to address common challenges and further improve student outcomes.
