Summary:
The city of Santo Domingo Pueblo, New Mexico is home to two schools: Santo Domingo Elementary and Santo Domingo Middle. These schools serve a predominantly Native American student population and face significant economic challenges, as evidenced by their extremely high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients.
Both schools have seen their state-wide rankings decline in recent years, with Santo Domingo Elementary ranking 430 out of 435 elementary schools in New Mexico and Santo Domingo Middle ranking 197 out of 200 middle schools. This suggests the schools are struggling to provide a high-quality education, despite having relatively small student-teacher ratios compared to other schools in the Bernalillo Public Schools district.
The lack of diversity and the economic challenges faced by these schools raise concerns about equity and access to educational opportunities for the students in the Santo Domingo Pueblo community. Further investigation may be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to these challenges and to identify ways to support and improve the performance of these schools.
