Summary:

The Cobre school district in New Mexico is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools demonstrate a range of performance, with Hurley Elementary and San Lorenzo Elementary standing out as the top-performing schools in the district.
