Summary:
The city of Espanola, New Mexico is home to 14 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole appears to be struggling, with most schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective grade levels statewide and having very low proficiency rates across core subject areas.
A few schools stand out in the data: Chimayo Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in the district, while Abiquiu Elementary has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, suggesting it may be making efforts to improve. Ohkay Owingeh Community School stands out for having the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district at 6.4, as well as a high free and reduced lunch rate of 97.09%.
The district as a whole faces significant challenges, with low graduation rates, very low proficiency rates, and high poverty levels across most schools. The uneven resource allocation, as evidenced by the variation in student-teacher ratios, suggests the district may need to implement comprehensive strategies to address these issues and improve student outcomes across Espanola, McCurdy Charter School, and Ohkay Owingeh Community School districts.
