Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 87413

ZIP code 87413 in Bloomfield, New Mexico, has four elementary schools serving PK–K, K, 1–3, and K–8 students, together enrolling 828 children in a mostly high-poverty setting.

The two schools in the Bloomfield Schools district enroll about 80.8% of these students. Central Primary is the largest, with 433 students, or 52.3% of the total, and has the most test data. Its results are mixed: 3rd-grade ELA is 39.07% proficient, nearly matching the district at 39.05% but below the state at 44.33%; 3rd-grade math is 19.87%, above the district at 18.93% but below the state at 26.24%. In 2024–25 all grades, math is 26.8%, above the district at 22.52% and essentially at the state at 26.81%, while ELA is 39.22%, below both the district at 43.68% and the state at 44.19%. Central's rank improved from the 24th percentile in 2009–10 to the 45th percentile in 2022–23, then fell to the 33rd percentile in 2023–24. Bloomfield Early Childhood Center has the strongest documented result: 50.74% proficient in ELA on NM Combined, above the district at 40.47% and the state at 43.34%. However, it serves PK–K and has only this one ELA result, so compare it cautiously.

Data are uneven for the other two schools. Dzilth-Na-O-Dith-Hle Community School enrolls 143 students, reports 97.9% free/reduced lunch and a 10.2 student–teacher ratio, but no test scores in this list. Hanaa'dli Community School is much smaller, with 16 students, an 8:1 ratio, and 81.25% free/reduced lunch; it also has no test scores. Central Primary and Bloomfield Early Childhood Center report 100% free/reduced lunch, so poverty indicators are high across most of the ZIP. Because grade spans range from PK–K to K–8 and test coverage is incomplete, a ZIP-wide academic ranking would be misleading; parents should compare schools within similar grades and check for updated data.
