Summary

Missouri Ave Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 322 students at 700 W Deming in Roswell, NM, part of Roswell Independent Schools, where every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch.

In 2025–26, Missouri Ave Elementary ranked 188 of 346 New Mexico schools — 46th percentile, 2 stars — roughly tied with Berrendo Elementary (46) and just behind Military Heights Elementary (47), but behind Nancy Lopez Elementary (70), Pecos Elementary (67), Valley View Elementary (63), Del Norte Elementary (60), and Monterrey Elementary (51). It sits above El Capitan Elementary (44), Sunset Elementary (15), and Washington Ave Elementary (13). Reading is a relative strength: all-grade Language Arts proficiency is 45.27, above both district (42.71) and state (43.34). Math is mixed — 25.68, above the district but below the state's NM-MSSA figure of 27.85. Fifth-grade science is a clear bright spot at 42.31, well above district (33.17) and state (31.97), trailing only Nancy Lopez (74.07) and Valley View (43.33) among nearby schools.

Performance varies by grade. Fifth grade is strong in math (34.62) and science, and fourth-grade ELA (52.27) is above state, but third-grade math (21.15) and fourth-grade math (20.45) fall well below district and state — lower-grade math is the clearest weakness. Subgroup results are uneven: English Language Learners rank 4 of 31 (87th percentile, 5 stars) and low-income students rank 60th percentile (3 stars), while female students (69th percentile) and male students (20th percentile) differ sharply in 2025–26. The 9.5:1 student/teacher ratio is better than most nearby schools. Overall, this is an improving school — up from 8th percentile and 0 stars in 2018–19 — with real strengths and room to grow in early math.
