Summary:

The 87552 zip code in New Mexico contains only one elementary school, Pecos Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 194 students. Pecos Elementary is a struggling school, with declining statewide rankings, low proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the state average, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Pecos Elementary's district rank is 77 out of 82 in New Mexico, and it is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past 3 years, going from 349 out of 435 in 2022-2023 to 246 out of 345 in 2024-2025. In 2024-2025, Pecos Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.11%) and Mathematics (15.05%) were significantly below the state averages of 44.19% and 26.81% respectively. The school has a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 62.37% in 2023-2024.

While Pecos Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, this does not seem to be translating into stronger academic performance. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand the drivers behind the school's challenges and identify potential strategies for improvement. Without any other schools in the 87552 zip code for comparison, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the relative quality of education in this specific geographic area.
