Summary:

The Springer school district in New Mexico consists of three schools: two elementary schools (Forrester Elementary and Wilferth Elementary) and one high school (Springer High). The district serves a high-poverty student population, with all three schools having 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Springer High School stands out as a strong performer, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 76.7% and proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science that exceed the district and state averages. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 8:1. In contrast, Wilferth Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and underperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

The data also reveals an exceptional student-teacher ratio of 6.9:1 at Forrester Elementary, which could contribute to its academic success. However, Springer High has also experienced a decline in its statewide ranking and proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science, suggesting a need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the challenges faced by these schools.
