Mettie Jordan Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New Mexico elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 30.28%, compared to the state average of 44.19% and the Eunice district average of 37.75%. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was 15.49%, compared to the state average of 26.81% and the Eunice district average of 15.89%. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 9.9% to 18% in recent years, compared to the state average of 24.5% to 26.81%. Additionally, the school's underperformance is evident across all student subgroups, suggesting a systemic issue that requires a comprehensive approach to address.

In comparison, nearby Sanger Elementary, Broadmoor Elementary, and Taylor Elementary in the Hobbs District demonstrate a wider range of academic performance, with some schools performing significantly better than Mettie Jordan Elementary in both ELA and Mathematics. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students from low-income families and generally lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their stronger academic outcomes.
