Best Public Schools in Zip Code 88041

Summary:

The 88041 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, San Lorenzo Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 68 students. The school is part of the Cobre school district, which is ranked 70 out of 119 districts in New Mexico and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, San Lorenzo Elementary has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, where it has outperformed both the district and state averages in recent years. However, the school's performance has declined over time, with its SchoolDigger rating dropping from 5 stars in 2018-2019 to 4 stars in 2022-2023 and 3 stars in the current 2023-2024 school year.

With a student-teacher ratio of 10.3, San Lorenzo Elementary is a relatively small school, which may allow for more personalized attention and support for students, but could also limit the availability of specialized programs and resources. The school's socioeconomic challenges and declining performance trend suggest that the school and district may need to address ongoing challenges to ensure continued success for its students.
