Summary:
The Hondo Valley region has only one elementary school, Hondo Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 62 students. While the school's small size allows for a low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates on state assessments falling below the Hondo Valley district and New Mexico state averages.
Hondo Elementary is currently ranked 315 out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the previous year, the school's ranking improved to 264 out of 435 schools, but its performance on state assessments remains a concern, with only 28% of students proficient in ELA and 17% proficient in Math for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 100% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests that it serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.
Without additional data on other schools in the Hondo Valley district or the surrounding region, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons and identify any standout schools. The limited information provided focuses solely on Hondo Elementary, making it challenging to contextualize its performance within the broader educational landscape. However, the school's declining rankings and proficiency rates, coupled with the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population, suggest that the Hondo Valley region may benefit from further investigation and support to improve educational outcomes for its students.
