Missouri Ave Elementary

Summary:

Missouri Ave Elementary is a public elementary school in Roswell, New Mexico, serving 301 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Roswell school district, which is ranked 69 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Missouri Ave Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, is consistently lower than the Roswell district and the state of New Mexico averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 28% in ELA, 20% in Mathematics, and 28% in Science, compared to Roswell's 37%, 21%, and 36%, and the state's 39%, 25%, and 36%, respectively. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past few years, with proficiency rates remaining in the low to mid-20s for ELA and Mathematics. Compared to nearby schools, such as Berrendo Elementary, Del Norte Elementary, Nancy Lopez Elementary, and Military Heights Elementary, Missouri Ave Elementary's academic performance is generally lower.

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Missouri Ave Elementary, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, is consistent with the nearby schools. This suggests that these schools may be serving communities with significant economic and social challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the academic underperformance. The consistent underperformance and the shared socioeconomic challenges across the nearby schools indicate that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of these schools and their communities.

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.
