Summary

Bataan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Deming, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 531 students. The school is part of the Deming school district, which is ranked 67 out of 82 districts in New Mexico and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bataan Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 207 and 368 out of over 400 schools. The school has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period. Its test scores are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.51%) and Mathematics (21.59%) significantly below the state averages of 44.19% and 26.81%, respectively. The school's performance on test scores varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for Asian students but struggles with Hispanic and White student performance.

Bataan Elementary's high percentage of English Language Learner (ELL) students and economically disadvantaged students (100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) may be contributing factors to its overall low performance. The school's challenges appear to be closely tied to these student populations, which often face additional challenges that can impact academic achievement. Compared to nearby schools in the Deming district, such as Bell Elementary and Memorial Elementary, Bataan Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher test scores, better rankings, and lower percentages of free/reduced-price lunch recipients.
