Summary

Northeast Elementary is a K–6 school in Farmington, New Mexico, serving 502 students as part of Farmington Municipal Schools. In 2025–26, it ranked 93rd of 346 elementary schools statewide — 73rd percentile, 4 stars — while the district as a whole ranks 62nd of 87 districts, or 29th percentile with 2 stars.

Academically, Northeast Elementary performs well above both its district and the state. All-grade language arts proficiency is 51.05%, compared with 40.4% in the district and 43.34% statewide, while math is 44.58% versus 24.65% district and 25.54% state — a gap of roughly 20 points. Fifth grade is a clear strength: 68.83% of fifth graders met math standards, more than double the state rate for that grade, along with 58.44% in language arts and 46.67% in science. Among nearby schools, only Country Club Elementary (26th statewide, 5 stars) is clearly ahead overall, though Northeast's fifth-grade math result edges Country Club's 65.59%. Ladera Del Norte Elementary ranks close behind Northeast at 95th statewide, while Esperanza Elementary, Mesa Verde Elementary, Animas Elementary, Bluffview Elementary, McCormick Elementary, McKinley Elementary, Apache Elementary and Kirtland Elementary trail substantially, especially in math.

Third-grade language arts is the main relative gap, at 41.18% versus 43.72% district and 44.33% state, even though third-grade math is above both. The school's effectiveness scores are strongest for Hispanic students (90th percentile), White students (89th) and low-income students (79th); effectiveness for female students fell from 80th percentile in 2023–24 to 48th in 2025–26, a shift worth watching. Notably, 100% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in recent non-outlier years and the student-teacher ratio is 15.9, yet Northeast still outpaces nearby schools with smaller classes, such as Apache Elementary (11.2).
