Dulce Elementary is a consistently low-performing school, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts (12%), Mathematics (4%), and Science (16%), compared to New Mexico's averages of 39%, 25%, and 36% respectively. The school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 385 out of 396 in 2018-2019 to 426 out of 433 in 2023-2024.

The data suggests that Dulce Elementary faces significant challenges in serving its high-poverty student population. With a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, the school's students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can contribute to the academic struggles. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors impacting the school community.
