Best Public Schools in Vado, NM

Summary:

The city of Vado, New Mexico has only one public elementary school, Vado Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 327 students. The school is part of the Gadsden school district, which is ranked 67th out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vado Elementary's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28%), Mathematics (21%), and Science (13%) all falling below the state averages of 39%, 25%, and 36%, respectively, for the 2023-2024 school year. This trend has persisted, with the school also underperforming the state averages in the previous year. Additionally, Vado Elementary has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

However, Vado Elementary does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, which is lower than the state average and may allow for more individualized attention for students. This could be a positive factor that, if combined with targeted interventions and support, could help improve the school's academic outcomes and address the challenges faced by its economically disadvantaged student population.
