Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87036


Summary:

The three schools located in the 87036 zip code - Mountainair Elementary, Mountainair High, and Mountainair Junior High - are all performing below the state average on academic measures, with low proficiency rates in language arts, mathematics, and science. Additionally, all three schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population.

The schools in the 87036 zip code serve a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and White students, and smaller percentages of African American and Native American students. However, the small school sizes, with enrollment ranging from 43 to 98 students, may present both advantages and disadvantages in terms of the availability of specialized programs and resources. The student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 6.8 to 10.8 students per teacher, which could allow for more personalized attention.

Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 87036 zip code are facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, economic disadvantage, and small school sizes. Addressing these issues will likely require a collaborative effort between the Mountainair Public Schools district, the schools, and the broader community to ensure that all students in this area have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
