Summary:
The 88081 zip code area in New Mexico is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Gadsden school district. While the district is ranked 60 out of 82 in the state and has a 1-star rating, a few schools stand out in this area.
Desert Trail Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades compared to the other elementary schools, and the highest 5th grade science proficiency at 25%. Meanwhile, Chaparral Middle has the best statewide ranking among the schools, placing in the top 125 out of 192 New Mexico middle schools. However, the schools generally perform below the district and state averages in proficiency for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and Chaparral High School has a 78% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average.
Notably, all of the schools have extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 100% to 100.46%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This, combined with the consistently low academic performance across the schools, suggests systemic challenges that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes in this community.
