Edison Elementary

Summary:

Edison Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hobbs, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 224. The school is part of the Hobbs Municipal Schools district, which is ranked 65 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison Elementary stands out in a few key areas compared to nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (87.95%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 68.7% to 82.19% Hispanic students. However, Edison Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, lags behind the nearby schools. For example, in 2022-2023, Edison Elementary had a 29% proficiency rate in Language Arts, compared to 49% at Mills Elementary, 43% at Sanger Elementary, and 47% at Coronado Elementary. Additionally, Edison Elementary has an extremely high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients, at 100% for the past three school years, significantly higher than the nearby schools.

The analysis of Edison Elementary reveals a school that is struggling academically compared to its nearby counterparts, despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 188 out of 412 New Mexico elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 262 out of 435 in 2022-2023. This suggests a concerning trend in the school's academic performance. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as resource allocation, instructional practices, and support for specific student subgroups, could be crucial for improving outcomes for the students at Edison Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
