Summary:
Red River Valley Charter School is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the Red River, New Mexico area. With an enrollment of just 81 students, this small school stands out for its diverse student population and high rate of economic disadvantage, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While Red River Valley Charter School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, from a high of 61st out of 421 elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 268th out of 435 in the current 2022-2023 school year, the school's performance has been inconsistent. This could be due to changes in leadership, curriculum, or student population over time. Despite these challenges, the school's diverse racial makeup, with a majority of white students and significant representation of Hispanic and African American students, is a positive aspect that could provide valuable learning opportunities for the community.
Situated within the Red River Valley Charter School District, which is ranked 87th out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Red River Valley Charter School faces the additional challenge of operating within a lower-performing district. As the sole school in the data set, further analysis of the school's academic outcomes, student growth, and specific strategies for supporting its high-poverty student population could provide valuable insights into the school's strengths and areas for improvement.
