Summary

Holloman Elementary is a PK–5 school with 517 students located at Holloman Air Force Base, part of Alamogordo Public Schools in southern New Mexico. While the district as a whole sits mid-pack in the state (41st of 87), Holloman is a statewide standout: in 2025–2026 it ranked 33rd of 346 New Mexico elementary schools, the 90th percentile with a 5-star rating. It was 25th of 345 (2024–2025) and 35th of 413 (2023–2024), and it has never ranked below the 81st percentile in the years shown.

Test scores back that up. On 2025–2026 state exams, 68.45% of students met expectations in language arts, 50.79% in math, and 59.32% in 5th-grade science, compared with roughly 43–46% in language arts, 26–30% in math, and 32–37% in science for the district and state. No nearby school comes close: La Luz Elementary scored 55% in language arts, 36% in math, and 48.39% in science; Sierra Elementary 52.21% and 39.71%; Buena Vista Elementary 52.04% and 26.26%; Tularosa Intermediate 51.02% and 31.12%. Lower still were Sunset Hills Elementary (41.33%/25.51%), Yucca Elementary (40.23%/17.24%), Desert Star Elementary (36.11%/22.69%), and North Elementary (24.29%/17.14%). Science data for North and High Rolls Mountain Park Elementary were suppressed by the state.

The school is also unusually effective with specific groups. Its low-income students ranked 19th of 325 schools statewide (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024–2025, after the 97th and 92nd percentiles the two prior years. Special education students ranked at the 78th percentile in 2023–2024, and English language learners reached the 97th percentile in 2021–2022, the only year reported. One group to watch: military-connected students, whose effectiveness ranking was the 40th percentile in 2024–2025 and 33rd in 2023–2024, though that comparison group included only 5 and 15 schools. Enrollment of 517 is the largest nearby, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.8, higher than most surrounding schools; results clearly aren't coming from tiny classes. Note that the reported 100% free/reduced lunch figure for 2024–2025, up from 20.38%, likely reflects a reporting or eligibility change.
