Elementary Schools in Roots & Wings Community

The Roots And Wings Community district in Questa, New Mexico, is home to a single public charter elementary school, Roots & Wings Community, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 59 students.

Roots & Wings Community stands out as a high-performing school, with a 55% proficiency rate in New Mexico Combined/Language Arts, significantly higher than the statewide average of 38%. The school also ranks 2nd out of 420 New Mexico elementary schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school's diverse student population, with 64.41% White, 16.95% Hispanic, 5.08% Native American, and 3.39% African American students, is noteworthy in the local context.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a dramatic drop in its ranking from 2nd to 181st out of 435 schools in the 2022-2023 school year, as well as lower mathematics proficiency rates of 14% compared to the statewide average of 24%. The high percentage of students (72.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch also suggests potential equity concerns that need to be addressed to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
