Summary

Loma Linda Elementary is a PK–6 school in Anthony, NM, serving 398 students in the Gadsden Independent Schools district, where all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

In 2025–26, the school ranked 102nd of 346 elementary schools statewide—the 71st percentile with 4 stars—well above its district’s overall rank of 54th of 87 (38th percentile, 2 stars). All-grade English language arts proficiency is 48.57%, compared with 43.1% in the district and 44.66% statewide; all-grade math is 46.67%, versus 32.47% district and 27.85% state. Fifth-grade math is especially strong at 68.92%, and 5th-grade ELA is 47.3%. Fourth grade is the relative weak spot: ELA is 46.25%, below the district’s 47.8% and the state’s 50.89%, while math is 31.25%, only slightly above the district’s 31.14%. Low-income students are served well, ranking in the 80th percentile with 4 stars. The school has improved from the 45th percentile in 2021–22 to the 71st percentile in 2025–26.

Among nearby schools, La Union Elementary (84th percentile) and North Valley Elementary (78th) rank higher, while Desert Trail Elementary (62nd), Gadsden Elementary (57th), Santa Teresa Elementary (51st), Chaparral Elementary (45th), Berino Elementary (23rd), Vado Elementary (20th), and Sunrise Elementary (20th) rank lower. Anthony Elementary is only 0.93 miles away and has a strong recent record, though it lacks a 2025–26 overall rank. Loma Linda Elementary is 3rd in all-grade ELA and 4th in all-grade math among these nearby schools, and its 5th-grade math result tops every nearby school listed. Its student-teacher ratio was 13.2 in 2024–25, up from 11.7, and is mid-range locally—worth monitoring, but not yet a barrier to strong results. Some nearby data is suppressed or bounded, and Anthony’s 2025–26 data covers only 6th grade, so comparisons should be read with care.
