Summary

Barry Elementary is a PK–5 school at 3401 Thornton St in Clovis, New Mexico, serving about 357 students as part of Clovis Municipal Schools. It is rated 3 stars and ranked 113th of 346 New Mexico elementary schools (67th percentile) in 2025–2026, well above its district's overall standing of 2 stars and the 34th percentile.

Barry's test scores are above both district and state averages. In 2025–2026, 53.01% of students were proficient in English language arts and 38.55% in math, compared with 44.71% and 29.07% for the district and 44.66% and 27.85% statewide. Science is close to average at 32.76%. Among nearby Clovis elementaries, only Mesa Elementary ranks clearly higher (93rd percentile, 5 stars, with much stronger math and science). Barry edges out Zia Elementary on math (38.55 vs. 33.51) and is well ahead of Sandia Elementary, Parkview Elementary, Highland Elementary, La Casita Elementary, Arts Academy At Bella Vista, and James Bickley Elementary. Texico Elementary, in a neighboring district, is the highest benchmark in this group at the 96th percentile.

Barry serves a high-poverty population — 91.88% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — yet still performs above several nearby schools with lower poverty rates, which suggests the school adds meaningful value. Staffing has improved steadily, with the student-teacher ratio dropping from 19.4 to 16.9 to 14.6 in recent years. Results vary by grade: 3rd grade math and 4th grade ELA are standout strengths, while 5th grade ELA is the weakest area and science is only average. Low-income students post notably strong results, while English learners, students with disabilities, and girls in the most recent year rank lower — worth watching, though some groups are small.

When my son was of age to go to school I went out of my district to be able to go to Barry. This school is amazing. From the principal to the teachers and all the staff,they work very hard to give the best education to the kids. They are very helpful and encourage parent involvement. I love the fact that my kids go to Barry. Close Quote

This is my second year at Barry both my kids are in K & 1st grade. Everyone is open and friendly and they come up with great rewards for the students who make goals. My son is in K and he is already reading at a 1st grade lvl and my daughter in 1st grade is reading 2/3rd grade lvl. very happy with all of the teachers. The principal Mrs.Delk is always out and helping and making sure everything is running smoothly. I recommend this school to anyone joining the Clovis area. Close Quote
