Truman Middle's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 24% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 7% in Mathematics, and 14% in Science, compared to the state averages of 39%, 25%, and 36%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its female, male, Hispanic, white, English Language Learner, special education, and low socioeconomic status students all ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of New Mexico middle schools. However, the school ranks relatively well for its African American and homeless student populations.
Despite these challenges, Truman Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.5 to 12 students per teacher over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Garfield Middle, Washington Middle, Polk Middle, John Adams Middle, Harrison Middle, and Ernie Pyle Middle schools. This low student-teacher ratio could be leveraged as a strength, providing opportunities for more personalized instruction and targeted interventions to improve student learning and achievement.
