Eva B Stokely Elementary

Eva B Stokely Elementary is a PK–6 school in Shiprock, New Mexico, serving 203 students — the smallest enrollment among the six Central Consolidated Schools elementaries compared here. Its district ranks 80th of 87 statewide (8th percentile, 0 stars), yet the school ranked 178th of 346 New Mexico elementaries in 2025-2026 (49th percentile, 2 stars) — near the state midpoint.

In 2025-2026, 44% of students were proficient in language arts and 28% in math, about 13.5 points above the district in ELA and 8.6 points above in math, and comparable to state averages. Fifth grade stands out: 58.82% proficient in math — roughly double the district rate — and 41.18% in science, more than three times the district figure. Other grades are weaker: Grade 4 math came in under 20%, Grade 3 math at 23.33%, and Grade 4 ELA at 36.84% against a state mark of 50.36%. Results also swing year to year: ELA fell to 28.28% and the 21st percentile in 2024-2025 before rebounding more than 15 points, a pattern that looks like a school-level disruption rather than a change in students.

Within the district, Eva B Stokely and Judy Nelson Elementary sit in a different tier from the other four elementaries, which average about 24% ELA and 19% math. Closer to home, Eva is the strongest in the Shiprock cluster: Nizhoni Elementary (under a mile away) posts 17.27% ELA and 10.07% math, and Mesa Elementary (2.3 miles) 30.23% and 17.83%. Its Grade 5 science score is the only reportable science figure in the area above the state. Context matters: 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the 9:1 student-teacher ratio is the most favorable among district peers. Female, low-income, and special education students have ranked in the 59th–86th percentile in recent years, while male students have logged 2 stars and 36th–42nd percentile each year with data. Where the state suppressed a score, treat it as unknown rather than poor.
