Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87021

Summary:

The 87021 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Milan Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 436 students. While the school boasts a diverse student population, its academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates below the statewide averages in Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Milan Elementary's student body is composed of 54.82% Hispanic, 20.87% Native American, and 22.02% White students, with smaller percentages of African American, Asian, and Pacific Islander students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, has declined in recent years, with the school ranking 293 out of 435 New Mexico elementary schools in 2022-2023 and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Language Arts (33%), Mathematics (16%), and Science (19%) are all below the statewide averages.

One notable aspect of Milan Elementary is the high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is slightly lower than the national average, but the combination of academic challenges and high poverty levels suggests a need for targeted interventions and support programs to help improve student outcomes at Grants-Cibola County Schools.
