However, the data also reveals stark differences in academic performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Harrison Schmitt Elementary. Additionally, all schools in the Silver City district have 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. The wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 7.6 at Cliff Elementary to 18 at Silver High, may also point to staffing challenges or resource allocation issues that could impact the quality of instruction and support available to students.
