Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87566

Summary:

The 87566 zip code area is home to two elementary schools: San Juan Elementary and Ohkay Owingeh Community School. Both schools serve high-poverty student populations, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 97%. However, the academic performance at these schools is concerning, with San Juan Elementary significantly underperforming the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

While Ohkay Owingeh Community School does not have available test score data, the overall picture suggests systemic challenges within the local education system. The Espanola school district, which includes San Juan Elementary, is performing well below the state averages, indicating a need for comprehensive interventions to improve academic outcomes.

Additionally, the difference in student-teacher ratios between the two schools, with San Juan Elementary having a higher ratio, may suggest unequal resource allocation within the local education system. Addressing these challenges will require a multi-faceted approach to support the high-poverty student populations and ensure equitable access to quality education in the 87566 zip code area.
