Summary:
La Academia Dolores Huerta is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Las Cruces, New Mexico, with a total enrollment of 66 students. As the only school in the data set, it provides a unique opportunity to examine its performance and characteristics in detail.
Academically, La Academia Dolores Huerta has struggled, with its statewide school rank fluctuating between 130 and 176 out of 235-239 New Mexico middle schools over the past three school years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all significantly below the state averages, indicating significant achievement gaps that need to be addressed. Additionally, the school's 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate suggests that the student population is entirely from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may present unique challenges.
Despite these academic challenges, La Academia Dolores Huerta has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.9 students per teacher, which is lower than the state average and may indicate a more personalized learning environment. However, the school's small size of 66 students could also limit the availability of resources and extracurricular activities. Overall, the data suggests that La Academia Dolores Huerta faces significant challenges in improving academic performance and supporting the success of its students.
