Best Elementary Schools in Los Lunas, NM

Summary:

The city of Los Lunas, New Mexico is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share a common economic challenge, with all students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance across the district.

At the top of the pack are Katherine Gallegos Elementary, Bosque Farms Elementary, and Peralta Elementary. These standout schools consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, schools like Tome Elementary and Desert View Elementary struggle with much lower proficiency rates.

The data suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teaching practices, and curriculum, play a crucial role in student outcomes. This presents an opportunity for the Los Lunas school district to identify and replicate the successful strategies of the high-performing schools, while also providing targeted support to the lower-performing schools to help raise overall student achievement and ensure equity across the district.
