Eva B Stokely Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools, with a ranking between 184 and 272 out of 345-435 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28.28%) and Mathematics (26.26%) were lower than the state averages (44.19% and 26.81%, respectively).

The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. The school's small student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.8 to 10.7 students per teacher, could be an advantage, but the data suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and support systems to better address the unique needs of its students and improve their educational outcomes.
