Roswell

The Roswell school district in New Mexico consists of 21 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The data reveals a mixed picture, with some standout schools like Sidney Gutierrez Middle School and Early College High School performing exceptionally well, while others struggle with low test scores and graduation rates.

Sidney Gutierrez Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 16th out of 433 elementary schools statewide and earning 5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages, with 69% proficiency in English Language Arts, 71% in Mathematics, and 80% in Science. Early College High School also performs exceptionally well, ranking 20th out of 190 high schools statewide and earning 4 out of 5 stars. The school has a 76.7% four-year graduation rate and impressive test scores, with 76% proficiency in English Language Arts and 80% in Science.

In contrast, several Roswell schools, such as Roswell High and Goddard High, struggle with low proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics. The district as a whole is underperforming compared to the state, with most schools earning 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. This suggests a need for district-wide improvement efforts to address the academic, socioeconomic, and resource-related challenges facing the Roswell schools.
