Animas

Summary:

The Animas school district in New Mexico consists of three schools: Animas 7-12 School (a high school), Animas Elementary (an elementary school), and Animas Middle (a middle school). The district as a whole is ranked 104th out of 128 districts in New Mexico and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the three schools, Animas 7-12 School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 16th out of 177 New Mexico high schools in the 2021-2022 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 78% and outperforms the Animas district and the state of New Mexico in science proficiency. In contrast, Animas Elementary has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 51st out of 383 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 352nd out of 413 schools in the current school year.

The schools in the Animas district face socioeconomic challenges, with relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients ranging from 56% at Animas Middle to 64.15% at Animas Elementary. Additionally, the small enrollments of the schools, particularly Animas Middle with only 25 students, may present unique challenges and opportunities in terms of resource allocation, personalized instruction, and extracurricular offerings.
