Summary:
The 87413 zip code area is home to two middle schools, Naaba Ani Elementary and Mesa Alta Junior High, both of which have demonstrated relatively strong performance within the Bloomfield district. While the schools face challenges related to high poverty levels, they have maintained consistent rankings and ratings, with a focus on English Language Arts instruction that has yielded positive results.
Naaba Ani Elementary ranks 63 out of 165 New Mexico middle schools and has earned a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has performed above the Bloomfield district and state averages in 4th and 6th grade English Language Arts proficiency, despite having a 100% free/reduced lunch rate and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3. Mesa Alta Junior High, on the other hand, ranks 94 out of 192 New Mexico middle schools and has also earned a 3-star rating. The school has outperformed the Bloomfield district and state averages in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts proficiency, as well as achieving a higher 8th grade science proficiency rate compared to the state average.
Both schools, however, have struggled with mathematics proficiency, scoring below the Bloomfield district and state averages across all grade levels. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and curriculum enhancements to improve student outcomes in this critical subject area. Despite these challenges, the relatively small class sizes at both schools could be leveraged to provide more individualized attention and support for students, potentially driving further academic success.
