The 87401 zip code area of Farmington, New Mexico is home to 17 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools. While the district as a whole is underperforming, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate the potential for high-quality education.
Country Club Elementary ranks 29th out of 433 elementary schools in the state and has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (59%), Mathematics (56%), and Science (56%) compared to the district and state averages. Hermosa Middle School also stands out, ranking 72nd out of 235 middle schools in the state with strong proficiency rates in ELA (40%), Math (30%), and Science (39%). At the high school level, Rocinante High has a 4-star rating and ranks 55th out of 190 high schools in the state, with the highest science proficiency (51%) and ELA proficiency (37%) among the high schools in the data set.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps, with many schools struggling to meet state averages in key subjects. The schools with the highest rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch tend to be the lowest-performing, suggesting a potential link between socioeconomic status and academic achievement that the Farmington district should investigate further. By understanding the factors that contribute to the success of the top-performing schools and implementing targeted interventions for the lowest-performing schools, the district may be able to drive districtwide improvement and provide a more equitable and effective educational system for all students.
