Corona

The Corona school district in New Mexico is home to two high-performing schools: Corona Elementary and Corona High. Corona Elementary stands out as an exceptional school, ranking 23rd out of 433 elementary schools in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students significantly outperform the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates of 61% and 70% respectively, compared to the statewide averages of 39% and 25%.

While Corona High also performs well, with a 4-star rating and strong test scores in some subjects, it does not reach the same level of excellence as the elementary school. The high school has a 76.7% 4-year graduation rate and exceeds the state averages in English Language Arts, Science, and SAT English Language Arts, but lags behind in Mathematics proficiency.

Both schools in the Corona school district serve relatively small student populations, with 41 students at the elementary school and 29 at the high school. This suggests they are likely serving a tight-knit, rural or small-town community. The schools also have notable free/reduced lunch rates, indicating that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, making the schools' strong academic performance even more impressive.
