Summary:
The 88101 zip code area of Clovis, New Mexico is home to 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools. This data set provides a detailed look at the academic performance and key metrics of these schools, revealing a mix of high-performing and lower-performing institutions.
Among the standout schools in the area are Mesa Elementary and Zia Elementary, both of which ranked in the top 40 elementary schools in New Mexico and received 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools boasted the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In the middle school category, W.D. Gattis Middle School stood out with a 4-star rating and the highest ELA proficiency rates among the middle schools in the data set.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools struggling to achieve proficiency rates above 25% in core subject areas. The high school, Clovis High, and the alternative school, Clovis High School Freshman Academy, both had a 78% four-year graduation rate, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the majority of schools in the 88101 zip code area had very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage that likely impacts student learning and achievement. The Clovis school district will need to address these inequities and provide targeted support and resources to the lower-performing schools to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
