Summary

Park Avenue Elementary is an upper-elementary school serving grades 4–5 with 317 students in Aztec, New Mexico, part of Aztec Municipal Schools in the Four Corners region near Farmington. In 2025–2026 it ranked 225 of 346 New Mexico elementary schools — 35th percentile, 2 stars — a rebound from 2024–2025, when it placed 295 of 345 (14th percentile, 1 star). Even so, it remains below its earlier standing: 43rd percentile in 2022–2023, 60th percentile in 2021–2022, and 63rd–70th in the mid-2010s, so the recent gain is a partial recovery rather than a return to past highs.

Test scores are mixed. In 2025–2026, 45.61% of students were proficient in ELA — above the district (39.15%) and the state (43.34%) — while math was 24.66%, above the district (18.26%) but below the state (25.54%). Fifth-grade science came in at 24.65%, below both the district (25%) and the state (31.97%). Grade-level results differ sharply: 4th-grade reading is the standout at 53.25%, while 5th-grade reading (37.32%), 4th-grade math (22.73%), and 5th-grade science trail state benchmarks. Among nearby Farmington schools, Park outperforms Animas Elementary in ELA and slightly in math, and edges Mosaic Academy Charter's same-year rates, but trails Northeast Elementary (51.05% ELA, 44.58% math), Mesa Verde Elementary, Esperanza Elementary, and Country Club Elementary, an extreme outlier at 66.91% and 56.83%.

Two structural details stand out. Park's student-teacher ratio was 19.8 in 2024–2025, the highest among all listed nearby schools — same-district peers such as Lydia Rippey Elementary and McCoy Avenue Elementary run roughly 12.7 to 14.4, and Farmington schools about 15.1 to 15.9. Reported economic need is high: 100% free/reduced lunch in 2022–2023 and 2024–2025 (a 2023–2024 figure of 0.88% appears to be a reporting error). Subgroup rankings show broad gaps, with female, low-income, and several other student groups ranking below the state median. Finally, comparisons carry caveats: Park serves only grades 4–5 while nearby schools serve PK–3, K–5, K–6, or K–8, and some peer data come from different years, so treat these numbers as directional.
