Elementary Schools in Santa Fe

Summary:

The Santa Fe school district in New Mexico contains 19 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a significant disparity in school quality within the district, with some schools ranking among the best in the state while others are among the lowest-performing.

The top-performing elementary schools in Santa Fe are El Dorado Community School and Wood-Gormley Elementary, which rank in the top 20 elementary schools in New Mexico and have 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the Santa Fe and New Mexico averages. Other standout schools include Pinon Elementary, Carlos Gilbert Elementary, and Atalaya Elementary, which also perform very well and rank in the top 35 elementary schools in the state.

In contrast, schools like Cesar Chavez Elementary, R.M. Sweeney Elementary, and Salazar Elementary have proficiency rates that are 10-30 percentage points lower than the state and district averages. The data suggests a strong correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as indicated by free and reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance, with the top-performing schools having significantly lower percentages of students receiving free and reduced lunch.
