Loving

The Loving school district in New Mexico consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Loving Elementary School is the standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 150 elementary schools in the state with a 4-star rating. However, the district's middle and high schools have more mixed results, with Loving Middle School scoring below state averages and Loving High School earning a 2-star rating and a 76.7% graduation rate.

Loving Elementary School's test scores are impressive, with 53% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 35% in Mathematics, and 46% in Science. In contrast, Loving Middle School's proficiency rates are lower, at 43% in English Language Arts, 28% in Mathematics, and 18% in Science. Loving High School's SAT School Day scores are also relatively low, with 27% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 20% in Mathematics.

A notable finding is that all three schools in the Loving school district have 100% of their students qualifying for free and reduced lunch, indicating a high level of poverty in the community. This high poverty rate may present challenges in terms of funding and access to resources, which could be contributing to the varying performance across grade levels. The data suggests that the district could benefit from targeted interventions and support, particularly at the middle and high school levels, to help improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.
