Elementary Schools in Lake Arthur

Summary:

The Lake Arthur Elementary is the sole public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Lake Arthur area of New Mexico. With a total enrollment of 61 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New Mexico elementary schools over the past decade, ranking 365th out of 413 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (17%) and Mathematics (13%) falling well below the state averages of 39% and 25% respectively.

Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school improve its performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
