Summary

Del Norte Elementary is a K–5 school at 2701 North Garden Ave in Roswell, New Mexico, serving 518 students as part of Roswell Independent Schools — the largest elementary in its comparison group and roughly 2.7 times the size of the smallest nearby school, Nancy Lopez Elementary. The student body is entirely economically disadvantaged by the state's measure, with free and reduced lunch reported at 100% for three consecutive years.

On current results, Del Norte is one of the stronger elementaries in its Roswell peer group: 51.15% of students were proficient in language arts and 31.92% in math (2025‑26, all grades), both above the district (42.71 and 21.75) and the state (43.34 and 25.54). It ranked 140th of 346 elementary schools statewide — 60th percentile, 3 stars — the third-highest reading and math proficiency of the eleven nearby schools, and it does this with the largest enrollment, beating the district by +8.4 points in reading and +10.2 in math. Nine of ten nearby schools rank below it, including Military Heights Elementary and Berrendo Elementary; by contrast, Sunset Elementary sits at the 15th percentile with 1 star.

The caution is the long view. Del Norte was in the 93rd–95th percentile with 5 stars as recently as 2015‑16 and 2016‑17, and 90th in 2018‑19; it has not returned to that tier, and recent absolute gains have been matched by the district and state. Strengths are specific: 4th-grade reading reached 64.13% and 3rd-grade math 36.71%, the highest of any peer. But 5th-grade math (28.09%) falls below both district and state, English learners have sat in the 25th–27th percentile band with 1 star for three straight years, and boys (35th percentile) trail girls (50th). Staffing improved to 12.0 students per teacher from 16.3 two years earlier, though that ratio remains the highest among nearby schools except Military Heights Elementary (12.5).
