Elementary Schools in T Or C

Summary:

The T Or C area of New Mexico is home to 3 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools face challenges common to many economically disadvantaged areas, one school stands out as a relative performer in the region.

Arrey Elementary is the top-performing school in the area, ranking 128th out of 413 New Mexico elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (25.58%) and Mathematics (25.58%) compared to the other two schools, T Or C Elementary and Sierra Elementary. Sierra Elementary has the second-highest ranking, placing 273rd out of 345 schools in 2024-2025, and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts for 4th and 5th grades.

However, all three schools face significant challenges, with proficiency rates in both subjects well below the T Or C district and New Mexico state averages. Additionally, the schools have extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 98.98% to 100%, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the overall academic performance of these schools suggests the need for additional support and resources to help improve outcomes for students in the T Or C area.
