Summary:
Turquoise Trail Charter School is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the Turquoise Trail Charter School District, which is ranked 98 out of 119 districts in New Mexico and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 677 students, the school's academic performance is a concern, as its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36%), Mathematics (13%), and Science (16%) are all below the state averages for the 2023-2024 school year.
The school's proficiency rates have declined over the past three school years, with ELA dropping from 31% in 2022-2023 to 36% in 2023-2024, Math dropping from 17% to 13%, and Science dropping from 26% to 16%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (30.43%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, a common indicator of socioeconomic status, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.
The consistent decline in academic performance and the school's underperformance compared to state averages suggest that Turquoise Trail Charter School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement. Addressing areas such as curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems for students could help the school better serve the community and provide a high-quality education for its students.
