Best Public Schools in Tesuque, NM

Summary:

The city of Tesuque, New Mexico has only one public school, Tesuque Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 67 students. While the school's small size may offer some advantages, it is currently facing significant academic and demographic challenges that require attention.

Tesuque Elementary's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 195th out of 435 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 313th out of 433 in 2023-2024. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27%) and Mathematics (18%) are well below the Santa Fe district and statewide averages, indicating academic performance issues that need to be addressed. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, highlighting the high level of economic disadvantage among its student population, which can significantly impact educational outcomes.

Targeted interventions and additional support may be required to improve the school's performance and ensure that all students have the opportunity to thrive.
