Summary:
The Clovis Municipal Schools district in Clovis, New Mexico, consists of 18 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group. While some schools in the district, such as Mesa Elementary, Zia Elementary, and Barry Elementary, consistently rank among the top in the state, others struggle with lower performance.
The data reveals a stark contrast in school performance within the Clovis Municipal Schools district. The higher-performing schools tend to have a larger percentage of white students, while the lower-performing schools have a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students. This correlation between racial makeup and school performance suggests that factors such as socioeconomic status and access to resources may be playing a significant role in the disparities observed.
Additionally, the district faces significant economic challenges, with all but one school having 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic need likely impacts the schools' ability to provide resources and support for their students. The variation in student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11.3 to 19.4, also indicates that some schools may be better equipped to provide individualized attention and support compared to others. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Clovis Municipal Schools district.
