Summary:

The Hobbs school district in New Mexico contains 13 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 62 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating there is room for improvement in academic performance across the district.

Among the elementary schools, a few stand out as top performers. Mills Elementary ranks 75th out of 345 elementary schools in New Mexico and has a 4-star rating, with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (53.65%) and Mathematics (48.96%) across all grades. Coronado Elementary and Broadmoor Elementary also perform well, with 3-star ratings and above-average proficiency in both subjects. The smaller Booker T. Washington Elementary has the highest ELA proficiency rate (50%) among the Hobbs schools.

However, several schools, such as Southern Heights, Murray, and Jefferson, have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the Hobbs and state averages, indicating potential performance gaps that need to be addressed. Additionally, the Hobbs school district as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to the state, with most of its elementary schools scoring below the New Mexico proficiency levels in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
