Summary:
The city of Santo Domingo Pueblo, New Mexico is home to two public schools: Santo Domingo Elementary and Santo Domingo Middle, both of which serve students in the Bernalillo school district. These schools have consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of schools statewide, and significantly underperforming on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Both Santo Domingo Elementary and Santo Domingo Middle have extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the student populations face significant socioeconomic challenges. The schools also have relatively small student-teacher ratios, with Santo Domingo Elementary at 11.7 students per teacher and Santo Domingo Middle at 14.2 students per teacher. However, these smaller class sizes have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.
The data suggests that the schools in Santo Domingo Pueblo require targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to their poor academic performance. This could include additional resources, teacher professional development, and community-based programs to support students and their families. Addressing the persistent low performance and socioeconomic challenges faced by these schools will be crucial in providing the students of Santo Domingo Pueblo with a high-quality education.
