Summary:
The Clovis school district in New Mexico contains 10 public elementary schools serving grades PK-5, with student populations ranging from 259 to 418. While the district as a whole is ranked 57 out of 82 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Mesa Elementary and Zia Elementary are the top-performing schools, ranked 32nd and 37th out of 413 New Mexico elementary schools respectively, with 5-star ratings. Both schools significantly outperform the Clovis and New Mexico averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grades, with Mesa having the highest percentage of students proficient in ELA (56.97%) and Math (52.12%) among the Clovis schools. In contrast, several other Clovis schools, such as Arts Academy at Bella Vista, Parkview, and James Bickley, struggle significantly, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.
The data also reveals a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as all Clovis elementary schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 98.87% to 107.28%. The schools with the highest rates of economic disadvantage tend to have the lowest academic achievement, suggesting opportunities for the district to learn from the success stories and implement effective strategies to raise overall performance and address these inequities.
