Summary

Mesa Elementary is a PK–5 public school at 4801 Norris in Clovis, New Mexico, serving 389 students as part of Clovis Municipal Schools. For 2025–2026 it ranks 25th of 346 New Mexico elementary schools — the 93rd percentile with 5 stars — a striking contrast with its district, which ranks 57th of 87 (34th percentile, 2 stars). This is not a one-year spike: Mesa has ranked mostly between the 86th and 95th percentiles for the past decade, rebounding from a modest dip in 2024–2025.

Mesa's 2025–2026 proficiency was far above both district and state averages: 65.08% in Language Arts and 54.5% in Math, versus 43.15%/26.7% for the district and 43.34%/25.54% statewide — roughly +22 points in Language Arts and +28 in math. Math proficiency is more than double the state's, and Mesa was above its district and the state in every tested grade and subject, including 5th-grade science. Among Clovis elementary peers, no school comes close: the nearest in Language Arts is Zia Elementary at 53.61, still 11.47 points behind, and the nearest in math is Barry Elementary at 38.55, nearly 16 points behind. La Casita Elementary, Arts Academy At Bella Vista and James Bickley Elementary trail much further behind.

Mesa also serves a high-poverty population — 88.95% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — yet outperforms nearby schools with lower poverty rates, and its student–teacher ratio improved from 19.3 to 13.8. Its subgroup results are broad strengths: 94th percentile for low-income students and 92nd for special education students. The one nearby school that outperforms Mesa is Texico Elementary (78.05% Language Arts, 64.52% math), but Texico is smaller and belongs to the higher-ranked Texico Municipal Schools. Within its own district, Mesa is the clear leader.

If you're new or planning to move to Clovis New Mexico, I highly recommend Mesa elementary school. All the staffs are A+, the facilities, safety and teachers are the best. We missed all of them. Take care to all. Close Quote
