Summary

Elida Elementary's academic performance is significantly higher than the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, 51% of Elida students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 39%, and 42% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 25%. The school's performance is particularly strong for female and male students, ranking 55th and 102nd, respectively, out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, with 59.34% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Elida Elementary has been able to maintain strong academic performance, ranking 91st out of 426 New Mexico elementary schools for low-SES students in 2022-2023. This resilience, combined with the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio, highlights the potential for small, well-resourced schools to have a significant impact on student outcomes, even in disadvantaged communities.
