Meanwhile, El Rito Elementary has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over time, suggesting the district may be able to replicate this success at other schools. However, the district's high schools and elementary schools have more mixed academic performance.
Across the district, all schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The student-teacher ratios vary, with Ojo Caliente Elementary having the highest ratio at 18.1, while El Rito Elementary has the lowest at 9.2. Overall, the Mesa Vista Consolidated Schools district faces significant challenges in serving its economically disadvantaged student population, but there are opportunities for improvement by learning from the practices of the higher-performing schools.
