Summary:
Taos International School is the sole elementary school in the Taos International School district, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 177 students. While the school boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the state averages across all subject areas, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Taos International School's statewide ranking for the 2023-2024 school year is 350 out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools, with a 1-star rating out of 5 by SchoolDigger. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 26% in English Language Arts, 12% in Mathematics, and 26% in Science, all well below the state averages of 39%, 25%, and 36%, respectively. The school's proficiency rates in the 2022-2023 school year were also below the state averages in Language Arts (23% vs. 38%), Mathematics (17% vs. 24%), and Science (23% vs. 34%).
The data suggests that Taos International School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, which may be exacerbated by the high percentage (100%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. To improve the academic outcomes at the school, the district may need to implement targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and additional support services for students.
