Best Public Schools in Zip Code 88336

Summary:

The 88336 zip code area is home to two schools, Hondo Elementary and Hondo High, both of which are part of the Hondo Valley Public Schools district. Unfortunately, neither school appears to be a standout performer, with both ranking below average compared to other schools in the state.

Hondo Elementary has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 264 out of 435 New Mexico elementary schools. Its proficiency rates in Language Arts (29%) and Mathematics (23%) are below the state averages. Hondo High also has a 2-star rating and ranks 113 out of 170 New Mexico high schools, with proficiency rates in Language Arts (30%) and Science (19%) below the state averages. Both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, indicating a concerning trend.

The schools in the 88336 zip code area face significant challenges, including a predominantly Hispanic student population (85.48% at Hondo Elementary and 77.42% at Hondo High) and a 100% rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting high levels of economic disadvantage. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, this does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement. Addressing the racial and socioeconomic disparities in the area may be crucial to improving the performance of these schools.
