What this means: About 78% of students here test proficient in math and reading, well above the roughly 55% typical for New Mexico schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations ranks schools against others at the same poverty level, not by raw scores, so a school can post high scores and still fall short of its prediction, or post lower scores and still beat it. This school clears its prediction by about 23 points, placing it in New Mexico's top 10%.
BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

From the MOUNTAIN ELEMENTARY community.How to read these scores
What is NM-MSSA + NM-ASR?
NM-MSSA + NM-ASR is the statewide standardized test administered by New Mexico public schools.
What does "% Proficient" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 84.2% mean for English Language Arts at MOUNTAIN ELEMENTARY?
It means about 84.2 percent of students tested at MOUNTAIN ELEMENTARY performed at grade level or above on the NM-MSSA + NM-ASR English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for New Mexico that year was 44.2%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in New Mexico, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
New Mexico Public Education Department, NM-MSSA (ELA + Math) + NM-ASR (Science). School-level All Students subgroup from web.ped.nm.gov public CSV downloads. Headline metric is the cumulative "Proficient + Above" rate (top 2 of 4 MSSA performance levels: Not Proficient / Nearing / Proficient / Advanced).
How often is it updated?
NM-MSSA + NM-ASR is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
