Midway Elementary

Public Grades K-5

Summary

Midway Elementary is a public elementary school located in Polvadera, New Mexico, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 108 students. The school is part of the Socorro School District, which is ranked 56 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midway Elementary has consistently outperformed the Socorro district and the state of New Mexico in academic proficiency across various subjects, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school has also shown strong performance across different student subgroups, particularly in the areas of female students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite serving a predominantly low-income student population, with over 99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Midway Elementary has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its academic success.

Compared to nearby schools, Midway Elementary outperforms San Antonio Elementary and Parkview Elementary in academic proficiency. However, Cottonwood Valley Charter School, located about 8 miles from Midway Elementary, has outperformed the school in some subjects, suggesting that Midway Elementary may have room for improvement in certain areas.
