Summary

Maggie Cordova Elementary School is a public K–5 school at 1500 Veranda Rd SE in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, serving 608 students as part of Rio Rancho Public Schools, an above-average district ranking 29th of 87 statewide; it sits in a suburban area about three miles from several Albuquerque Public Schools elementaries.

Maggie Cordova currently ranks 219th of 346 New Mexico elementary schools — 37th percentile, 2 stars — the school's first 2-star rating in the ten years of data reviewed. That is a steep change: it was a 4-star, 83rd-percentile school in 2014–15, was still at the 69th percentile in 2023–24, then fell to 53rd in 2024–25 and 37th in 2025–26, a 32-percentile-point drop in two years. The decline is broad, with every student group the state tracks losing ground in that window. Virtually all students are shown as eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, similar to neighboring schools. Its student–teacher ratio of 14.6 is the best among its Rio Rancho peers in this comparison, so staffing levels do not appear to be the limiting factor.

On 2025–26 state tests, 40.6% of students were proficient in English language arts and 28.9% in math. Math is roughly at the state average of 27.9% but 9 points below the district; ELA trails both the state (44.7%) and the district (54.4%) by a wide margin. Results are weakest in 5th grade, which trails the state in reading, math and science, while 3rd-grade math is slightly above the state. Among 11 nearby schools, Maggie Cordova ranks 10th in ELA and 9th in math. The sharpest contrast is Martin King Junior Elementary, 0.77 miles away with similar enrollment and poverty levels, which posts 58.9% ELA and 39.6% math and ranks 73rd percentile. Other Rio Rancho peers such as Ernest Stapleton Elementary and Joe Harris Elementary also score higher, as does Coyote Willow Family School, a nearby K–8 at 77% ELA and 65% math.
