Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87747

Summary:

The 87747 zip code in New Mexico is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Forrester Elementary and Wilferth Elementary) and 1 high school (Springer High). While Springer High has maintained a relatively strong performance, ranking 61st out of 190 New Mexico high schools, the elementary schools face significant academic and demographic challenges.

Springer High stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a 76.7% four-year graduation rate. The school also performs above the state average in English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, Wilferth Elementary lags behind the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 35% and 19% of students proficient or better, respectively.

All three schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level likely contributes to the educational disparities observed. Additionally, the elementary schools have very small student populations, with Forrester Elementary having just 30 students and Wilferth Elementary having 28 students. While this may present challenges, it also offers opportunities for personalized instruction and targeted support.
