Best Public Schools in Ranchos De Taos, NM

Summary:

The city of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico has only one public elementary school, Ranchos De Taos Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 272 students. This school stands out for its exceptionally high Hispanic student population of 87.5%, well above the state average, as well as its 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating widespread economic need among the student body.

Despite these unique demographics, Ranchos De Taos Elementary has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom third of New Mexico elementary schools in recent years. This suggests there may be challenges in adequately supporting the educational needs of the predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, which is better than 2 other elementary schools in the Taos Municipal Schools district.

Overall, Ranchos De Taos Elementary faces significant socioeconomic challenges that appear to be impacting its academic performance. Addressing the needs of this student population will be crucial for improving outcomes at the school, and further investigation into specific strategies and programs could provide more insights into how these challenges are being addressed.
