Summary:

Clovis Municipal Schools is a 14-school district in New Mexico serving about 6,527 students across nine elementary schools, three middle schools, one high school, and one alternative school. Statewide, the district ranks 57th of 87, at the 34th percentile with 2 stars, and it serves a high-poverty population — the average free/reduced lunch rate among reporting schools is about 84%. The most important thing for families to know is that results vary enormously from school to school, so a district-wide average tells you very little about any one building.

Mesa Elementary is the clear standout: 5 stars, ranked 25th of 346 elementary schools (93rd percentile), with 65.08% proficient in language arts, 54.5% in math, and 52.73% in 5th-grade science — far above the district (43.15% ELA, 26.7% math). Zia Elementary (3 stars, 63rd percentile) and Barry Elementary (3 stars, 67th percentile, and the district's highest poverty rate at 91.88%) also beat district and state in ELA and math. W D Gattis Middle School is above district in ELA (49.9%) but only near district in math, while Marshall 6th Grade Academy posts one of the strongest middle-school math results.

At the other end, James Bickley Elementary has 0 stars and ranks in the 10th percentile with 22.76% ELA and 14.48% math — more than 40 points below Mesa in both subjects. La Casita Elementary and Arts Academy At Bella Vista each hold 1 star. Math is the district's weaker subject overall. Clovis High graduates 81.3% of students — near district and above state — but its 11th-grade proficiency sits below state in both ELA and math.
