Summary

Animas Elementary is a public elementary school in Farmington, New Mexico, serving 362 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Farmington school district, which is ranked 64 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Animas Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Farmington district and the state of New Mexico in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 37.1% of Animas Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.68% for the Farmington district and 44.19% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate at Animas Elementary was only 17.2%, significantly lower than the Farmington district (25.2%) and the state (26.81%). The school's performance has declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 191 out of 396 New Mexico elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 230 out of 345 in 2024-2025.

Animas Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 76.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the Farmington district average of 57.63% and the state average of 65.03%. This may contribute to the school's challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities and resources, as evidenced by the significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups. For example, Country Club Elementary and Northeast Elementary, nearby schools in the Farmington district, consistently rank in the top 25-100 schools in the state and have lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
