Additionally, Chimayo Elementary has a very high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 100% for the 2022-2023 school year, indicating that the school serves a community with high levels of poverty.

The school's low test scores, high poverty levels, and declining statewide ranking are all areas of concern that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
