Summary:
The 88021 zip code area in New Mexico is home to 13 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools, all part of the Gadsden school district. While the district is ranked 67 out of 119 in the state, a few standout schools shine, including Alta Vista Early College High School, which ranks 10th out of 190 high schools in New Mexico and earns a 5-star rating, as well as La Union Elementary and Anthony Elementary, both 4-star schools with the highest proficiency rates in the area.
However, the broader data reveals significant performance gaps, with the district and many individual schools performing below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Additionally, all schools in the area have 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage that may impact student learning. The high schools in the data set also have a 76.7% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average.
Despite these challenges, the presence of high-performing schools within the district suggests that there is potential for improvement. By closely examining the practices and strategies of the standout schools and addressing the broader socioeconomic factors impacting the community, there may be opportunities to drive meaningful progress and better support the educational needs of students in the 88021 zip code area.
