Summary:
Lordsburg, New Mexico is home to a single elementary school, R.V. Traylor Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 155 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, its academic performance lags behind both the Lordsburg district and the state of New Mexico as a whole.
In the 2023-2024 school year, only 35% of R.V. Traylor Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Lordsburg district average of 39% and the New Mexico state average of 39%. The school's mathematics proficiency rate was even lower, at just 12%, compared to 11% for the Lordsburg district and 25% for the state. This underperformance is reflected in the school's 2-star rating and ranking of 299 out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as R.V. Traylor Elementary has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 58.71%. While the school's low student-teacher ratio could be a positive factor, it does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes based on the available data. The school's leadership and the Lordsburg district may need to implement targeted strategies and interventions to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for the students.
