Summary:

The Socorro school district in New Mexico serves students from elementary through high school, with a total of 6 schools including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's performance is mixed, with some standout schools like Cottonwood Valley Charter and Midway Elementary consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others struggle to meet state benchmarks.

Cottonwood Valley Charter and Midway Elementary are the top-performing schools in the district, with 4-star and 5-star ratings respectively from SchoolDigger. These schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Socorro High School has a 78% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average.

Several schools in the district, including Socorro High, R. Sarracino Middle, and Midway Elementary, have very high free/reduced lunch rates (over 90%), indicating a high-need student population. However, the district as a whole has relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9:1 to 14.5:1, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
