Elementary Schools in Socorro

The Socorro school district in New Mexico is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals that two schools, Cottonwood Valley Charter and Midway Elementary, stand out as high-performing, consistently outpacing the district and state averages in test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Cottonwood Valley Charter, a public charter school, is the highest-ranked elementary school in the Socorro district, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 54th out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools. With a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.1, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 92.94% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Midway Elementary is also a high-performing school, ranking 61st in the state and outperforming the district and state averages in test scores, despite having a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 19.4.

In contrast, Parkview Elementary and San Antonio Elementary have lower test scores compared to the district and state averages. However, all four schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 83.33% to 100%. This suggests that the Socorro school district faces significant challenges in serving a population with high economic needs.
