Summary:
The 87014 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Cubero Elementary and Seboyeta Elementary. While both schools serve high-poverty student populations, Cubero Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in New Mexico and outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests.
Cubero Elementary has a 4-star rating and has reached as high as 109th out of 433 elementary schools in the state. Its students demonstrate strong proficiency in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 50% of students meeting or exceeding standards in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 38% for the Grants district and the state of New Mexico. This success may be attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 students per teacher.
In contrast, Seboyeta Elementary has a lower 2-star rating and its test scores fall below the state averages in both subject areas. With an enrollment of only 33 students, the school's small size and lower performance raise questions about the resources and support available to its high-poverty student population. The data suggests that these schools, particularly Seboyeta Elementary, may benefit from additional targeted interventions and resources to address the unique needs of their communities.
