Summary

Pecos Elementary is a PK–5 school in Roswell, New Mexico, serving 255 students within Roswell Independent Schools, a district that ranks 48th of 87 statewide (45th percentile, 2 stars). Pecos, however, has been outperforming that district profile. In 2025–2026 it ranked 115th of 346 elementary schools statewide (67th percentile, 3 stars), essentially holding steady from 114th of 345 the year before, and up substantially from 286th of 420 (32nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2021–2022. It does this while serving a high-poverty population: 99.22% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, with 100% in the two prior years. The latest available student-teacher ratio is 15.3 (2023–2024), higher than several nearby schools, and the 2024–2025 ratio was not reported.

Test performance in 2025–2026 was above district and state averages in the core subjects: English Language Arts at 51.4% proficient (district 44.72%, state 44.66%), math at 38.32% (district 24.14%, state 27.85%), and 5th-grade science at 34.38% (district 33.17%, state 32.24%). Math is Pecos's clearest advantage — the highest among the listed PK–5 neighborhood schools, ahead of Nancy Lopez Elementary (34.21%), Del Norte Elementary (32.55%), and Monterrey Elementary (30.2%). Only Sidney Gutierrez Middle (68.46%) is higher, but it serves grades K–8 and is not a direct peer. ELA is strong but slightly behind Valley View Elementary (52.48%) and Del Norte (52.16%). Grade-level bright spots include 4th-grade ELA at 64.71% and 5th-grade math at 53.12%; 3rd-grade ELA, at 41.46%, is below both district and state.

Subgroup results are a major strength. Low-SES students ranked in the 71st percentile (4 stars) in 2025–2026, Hispanic students in the 71st percentile (4 stars), female students in the 75th percentile (4 stars), and English Language Learner students in the 70th percentile (4 stars) in 2023–2024. Male students, by contrast, ranked in the 45th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026, an internal gap worth watching. Science has also improved, from 21% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 34.38% in 2025–2026, though Nancy Lopez Elementary (70.83%) and Missouri Ave Elementary (42.31%) score higher. Overall, this is a school on the rise, with 3rd-grade ELA and the male-student gap as its main opportunities.
