Fort Sumner

The Fort Sumner school district in New Mexico consists of three schools: Fort Sumner Elementary, Fort Sumner Middle, and Fort Sumner High. The data shows that the elementary and middle schools in Fort Sumner are standout performers, ranking highly in the state and outpacing the average in key subjects. However, the high school's performance is more mixed, with below-average English Language Arts proficiency compared to the state.

Fort Sumner Elementary and Fort Sumner Middle both earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and ranked in the top quartile of their respective school types in New Mexico. These schools outperformed the state averages in English Language Arts, Science, and Mathematics. Additionally, all three Fort Sumner schools had 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the community.

While the elementary and middle schools showed strong academic performance, Fort Sumner High School had a more mixed record, with below-average English Language Arts proficiency compared to the state. The district's graduation rate of 76.7% also suggests potential challenges at the high school level that may need to be addressed. Overall, the Fort Sumner school district appears to have some high-performing schools, particularly at the lower grade levels, but may face specific challenges related to poverty and high school performance that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions.
