Summary:
Jefferson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hobbs, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 351 students. The school is part of the Hobbs school district, which is ranked 74 out of 119 districts in New Mexico and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Jefferson Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in state assessments, is significantly lower than the Hobbs district and the state of New Mexico averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, Jefferson Elementary had proficiency rates of 25% in English Language Arts, 19% in Mathematics, and 14% in Science, compared to Hobbs district averages of 34%, 23%, and 32%, respectively, and New Mexico state averages of 39%, 25%, and 36%. This trend of underperformance compared to the district and state is consistent across multiple years, with Jefferson Elementary consistently ranking in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school, while English Language Learner (ELL) students and Special Education students have struggled.
Despite the challenges faced by Jefferson Elementary, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and the presence of higher-performing schools in the same district, such as Booker T. Washington Elementary, Mills Elementary, and Broadmoor Elementary, indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement. By analyzing the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools, Jefferson Elementary could potentially identify ways to better support its students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds and in subgroups that are currently underperforming.
