Summary:
The 88021 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, all part of the Gadsden Independent Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 67 out of 119 in New Mexico and has a 2-star rating, the data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the area.
The standout school is Alta Vista Early College High School, which ranks 17th out of 170 high schools in the state and has an impressive 5-star rating. This school boasts strong test scores, with 62% proficiency in Language Arts, 38% in Math, and 69% in Science - well above the state averages. Another high-performing school is Anthony Elementary, which ranks 108th out of 435 elementary schools in New Mexico and has a 4-star rating, with 41% proficiency in Language Arts and 55% in Math.
However, the broader picture shows that many of the schools in the 88021 zip code area struggle, with test scores well below the state averages in Language Arts, Math, and Science. Additionally, all of the schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. The district's overall low ranking and 2-star rating suggest that there is room for improvement in curriculum, instruction, and student support across the schools in this area.
