Elementary Schools in Alamogordo

The Alamogordo school district in New Mexico is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with several standout institutions like Holloman Elementary and Sierra Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. These schools excel in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, outperforming the Alamogordo and New Mexico averages.

On the other hand, schools like North Elementary, Desert Star Elementary, and Sunset Hills Elementary struggle with lower proficiency rates, which may be linked to their higher rates of free and reduced lunch eligibility. The data also highlights the importance of considering factors beyond just test scores, such as student-teacher ratios, which are particularly low at Buena Vista Elementary and High Rolls Mountain Park Elementary.

Overall, the Alamogordo school district appears to be performing better than the state average, with most of its elementary schools exceeding the New Mexico proficiency rates. However, the data also reveals a clear divide in academic performance, suggesting that factors such as socioeconomic status, resource allocation, and teaching quality may be contributing to the disparities in student outcomes across the district.
