About Lybrook Elementary
LYBROOK ELEMENTARY is a small, rural public school located in Counselor, New Mexico. Serving students from pre-K through eighth grade, the school has an enrollment of just 75 students and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1 with six full-time equivalent teachers. The school setting is quite remote, nestled within a quiet rural area where community ties are strong.
While academic performance metrics show room for growth—students scoring at or above proficiency levels in both ELA/Reading and Math were around the 5% mark—the close-knit nature of the community provides a supportive environment for learning and development. LYBROOK ELEMENTARY focuses on fostering individual student growth, especially in its smaller setting where each child receives personalized attention. Located in a rural area with limited neighborhood data available, the school is deeply connected to the local community.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 75 students, Lybrook Elementary is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
Located in a rural area, Lybrook Elementary may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
