Summary

Blanco Elementary is a small public school in Bloomfield, New Mexico, serving 138 students in grades 1–6 as part of Bloomfield Schools, with a 100% free/reduced-price lunch rate — a high-poverty setting shared by most nearby schools.

After several years in roughly the 40th–65th percentile, Blanco Elementary rose sharply to 83rd of 346 New Mexico elementary schools in 2025–26 — the 76th percentile, or 4 stars — up from the 47th percentile (2 stars) the year before. Among nearby schools with 2025–26 rankings, only Country Club Elementary (92nd percentile) ranked higher; Blanco finished ahead of Mesa Verde Elementary (59th), Esperanza Elementary (54th), Park Avenue Elementary (35th) and Animas Elementary (29th). All-grades English language arts proficiency was 45.05%, above both the district (40.47%) and state (43.34%), while math was 21.98% — above the district (19.31%) but below the state (25.54%) and behind Country Club Elementary, Mesa Verde Elementary and Esperanza Elementary.

Upper-grade results stand out: 4th-grade ELA (61.11%) and 6th-grade ELA (60.71%) are well above district and state, and 6th-grade math (42.86%) is above both, while 3rd-grade ELA (38.89%) trails the state (44.33%). Results for student groups are a bright spot, with Hispanic students at the 91st percentile (5 stars) and White students at the 80th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–26. With 10.6 students per teacher in 2024–25 — lower than every nearby grade 1–6 elementary, including Central Primary, McCoy Avenue Elementary, Lydia Rippey Elementary and Mosaic Academy Charter — Blanco can offer more individual attention, though only the PK–K Bloomfield Early Childhood Center is slightly lower. Science scores are suppressed by the state, and many grade-level math results are unavailable, so those areas remain unknown rather than weak. Because the school is small, year-to-year swings can be large.
