Pecos Elementary has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 196th out of 442 elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 114th out of 345 in 2024-2025. The school outperformed the Roswell and New Mexico state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for all grades and 3rd grade, as well as in 5th grade mathematics proficiency.
