Middle Schools in Gadsden

Summary:

The Gadsden school district in New Mexico is home to three middle schools: Gadsden Middle, Santa Teresa Middle, and Chaparral Middle. While none of the schools stand out as clear standouts, some differences in performance and demographics can be observed.

Santa Teresa Middle appears to be the highest-performing of the three, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. In contrast, Chaparral Middle has the lowest proficiency rates in both subjects compared to the other two schools. All three schools, however, face significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Overall, the Gadsden middle schools are underperforming, with all three ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico middle schools and receiving only 2 or 3 stars from SchoolDigger. Addressing the district's socioeconomic challenges and implementing targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes could be crucial for enhancing educational opportunities for students in the area.
