Summary
Broadmoor Elementary is a PK–5 school serving roughly 330 students at 1500 North Houston in Hobbs, New Mexico, one of eleven elementaries in Hobbs Municipal Schools, a district that ranks 68th of 87 statewide. The defining story here is a sharp change in direction. From 2014-15 through 2023-24 the school earned 4 stars in every reported year, placing between the 71st and 85th percentiles of New Mexico elementary schools — consistently one of the stronger schools in a weak district. That pattern has broken: 4 stars (77th percentile) in 2023-24, 3 stars (54th) in 2024-25, and 2 stars (30th percentile, 241st of 346) in 2025-26, a 47-percentile-point slide in two years.
In 2025-26, Broadmoor posted 40.64% proficiency in Language Arts and 26.88% in math, ranking 7th of 11 nearby elementaries in both subjects. It still outperforms its district in both subjects (+2.6 points in Language Arts, +3.6 in math) and edges the state math figure of 25.54%, while its Language Arts result trails the state's 43.34%. Nearby Taylor (55.21% Language Arts), Mills (40.10% math) and Sanger (50.00% Language Arts, 36.14% math) post stronger results, while Will Rogers, less than a mile away, sits lower at 26.21% and 18.45%. Mills, Taylor, and Sanger have improved or held their state rank while Broadmoor fell, widening a gap that did not exist in 2023-24.
Grade-level results are uneven. Fourth grade is a genuine bright spot at 50.82% in Language Arts, above both district and state. Third grade is the weak point: 19.64% in math and 37.5% in Language Arts, below both benchmarks. Fifth-grade science, at 20%, trails the district's 21.5% and the state's 31.97%. The student-teacher ratio rose to 15.1 in 2024-25 from 12.4 the year before. Free/reduced-price lunch was 72.12% in 2024-25, the highest in the comparison group, though that series jumps between 100% and 48.59% and should not be read as a trend. Results have also softened across nearly every student group the state reports on. Broadmoor remains a relative bright spot inside a 1-star district; the concern is direction of travel — and families within a mile have an option, Sanger, performing about 25 percentile points higher.
