Summary:
The small town of Wagon Mound, New Mexico is home to two schools serving grades K-12: Wagon Mound Elementary and Wagon Mound High. These schools face significant challenges, with tiny student populations, high poverty levels, and low academic performance compared to state averages.
Both Wagon Mound Elementary and Wagon Mound High have very small enrollments of just 43 and 40 students, respectively. This suggests they may struggle to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Additionally, 100% of students at both schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating extremely high levels of economic disadvantage. Academically, the schools are underperforming, with Wagon Mound Elementary having only 17% proficiency in Language Arts and 22% in Math, far below state averages. Wagon Mound High fares slightly better at 43% proficiency in Language Arts, but this is still below the state average.
The racial demographics of these schools also raise concerns about equity, with a high percentage of Hispanic students and low representation of other racial groups. Furthermore, the schools' rankings on the School Digger scale have declined over time, with Wagon Mound Elementary now in the bottom 25% of New Mexico elementary schools. Overall, these schools in the 87752 zip code face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students, and further support and intervention may be necessary to improve outcomes for the community.
