Elementary Schools in Roswell

Summary:

The Roswell school district in New Mexico contains 13 elementary schools serving grades ranging from Pre-K to 8th. These schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout top-performers like Military Heights Elementary and Sidney Gutierrez Middle ranking among the best in the state, while others struggle to meet proficiency standards.

The top-performing schools in Roswell, such as Military Heights Elementary and Sidney Gutierrez Middle, boast impressive proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that significantly exceed the district and state averages. In contrast, lower-performing schools like Sunset Elementary and Washington Ave Elementary struggle to meet academic benchmarks, highlighting the achievement gap within the Roswell district.

Despite the disparities in academic performance, all 13 elementary schools in Roswell serve a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that factors beyond just test scores, such as student demographics and school resources, play a significant role in a school's overall success. The data also points to a need for targeted interventions and support to improve mathematics instruction and learning across the district.
