Summary

Berrendo Elementary is a PK–5 school at 505 West Pine Lodge Rd in Roswell, New Mexico, serving 327 students as part of Roswell Independent Schools, a district that ranks 48th of 87 in New Mexico.

Berrendo Elementary is a middle-of-the-pack Roswell school in 2025–2026, ranked 187th of 346 elementary schools (46th percentile, 2 stars). Its overall ELA score is 46.72 and its math score is 29.93 — both above district and state averages — but it trails local leaders such as Pecos Elementary, Nancy Lopez Elementary, Valley View Elementary, and Del Norte Elementary. The biggest concern is the school's slide: it was a 4-star school around the 73rd–75th percentile in 2016–2017 and 2017–2018, held mostly 3 stars and the 61st–63rd percentile from 2021–2022 through 2023–2024, then fell to 2 stars and the 46th percentile. Fifth-grade science is the clearest academic gap at 27.91, below district and state and below most nearby reporting schools — only Monterrey Elementary (24.24) is lower, while Nancy Lopez (70.83), Valley View (43.33), Missouri Ave Elementary (42.31), and Pecos (34.38) all do better. ELA is uneven by grade: third grade is strong at 50.00, but fourth grade dips to 48.15 against a district rate of 56.10 and a state rate of 50.89.

There is real good news too. Berrendo is notably effective with low-income students (75th percentile, 4 stars in 2025–2026) and English Language Learners (74th percentile, 4 stars in 2023–2024), though special education students ranked 120th of 158 (24th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024 — a clear area to address. The student-to-teacher ratio improved sharply to 9.9 in 2024–2025, from 18 in 2023–2024 and 16.3 in 2022–2023, and is more favorable than El Capitan Elementary (11.3), Del Norte (12.0), and Military Heights Elementary (12.5). Berrendo reports 100% free/reduced lunch, but that is shared context — most nearby Roswell elementaries report 99%–100% as well.
