Elementary Schools in Pecos

Summary:

The Pecos area has only one elementary school, Pecos Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 194 students. While the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 349th out of 435 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 246th out of 345 in 2024-2025.

Pecos Elementary's proficiency rates on state assessments are well below the state averages, with only 30.11% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 15.05% proficient in Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to state averages of 44.19% and 26.81%, respectively. This underperformance is concerning, especially given the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which stood at 62.37% in 2023-2024.

Despite the challenges faced by Pecos Elementary, the school's low student-teacher ratio could be an asset in developing targeted interventions and support for students. The Pecos school district and community should work together to address the academic deficiencies and improve the school's performance to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
