Summary

Mesa Verde Elementary is a K–5 school at 3801 College Blvd in Farmington, New Mexico, serving 445 students as part of Farmington Municipal Schools in the Four Corners region. It is a relative bright spot in its district: the school ranked 142nd of 346 New Mexico elementary schools in 2025–26 (59th percentile, 3 stars), while the district ranks 62nd of 87 statewide. Still, that is well down from 2018–19, when Mesa Verde stood in the state's top 6% (23rd of 396, 94th percentile, 5 stars). Because the ranked-school pool shrank from 413 to 346 schools recently, the percentile is the fairer comparison than the raw rank.

Math is the school's calling card. At 36.04% proficiency, Mesa Verde sits more than 10 points above both its district and the state, and 5th grade is exceptional (46.84% in math vs. 33.85% statewide). Language Arts (45.95%) is above average but by a thinner margin, and 3rd- and 4th-grade Language Arts fall below both district and state averages — a signal to watch as those students move up. The school also posts notably strong results for its Native American students, its Special Education students, and its English Language Learners, as measured by how well the school serves each group. One 2025–26 watch item: female students rank in the 32nd percentile while male students rank 51st.

Compared with nearby schools, Mesa Verde ranks fourth of ten same-district elementaries. Country Club Elementary (1.8 miles) is a 5-star, 92nd-percentile school; Northeast Elementary and Ladera Del Norte Elementary are 4-star, 73rd-percentile schools; Esperanza Elementary is 54th; Animas Elementary 29th; and Bluffview Elementary, McCormick Elementary, McKinley Elementary, and Apache Elementary fall between the 7th and 17th percentiles. Mesa Verde also beats nearby Mosaic Academy Charter in both Language Arts and math. Its student-teacher ratio, however, has climbed from 11.9 to 15.7 in three years.
