Summary

Del Norte Elementary is a public elementary school in Roswell, New Mexico, serving 515 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Roswell school district, which is ranked 49 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Del Norte Elementary consistently outperforms the Roswell and New Mexico state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 48.47%, compared to 43.3% for Roswell and 44.19% for the state, while its Mathematics proficiency rate was 30.53%, compared to 24.43% for Roswell and 26.81% for the state. Del Norte's performance in Science for 5th grade is also above the Roswell and state averages. The school has maintained a 3- or 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating above-average performance compared to other New Mexico elementary schools.

While Del Norte Elementary has strong overall performance, there are notable disparities in the performance of certain student subgroups, particularly African American and English Language Learner students, who consistently rank in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps. Additionally, all schools in the Roswell district, including Del Norte, have a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the overall academic challenges faced by the district.
