Summary:
The Taos school district in New Mexico consists of 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools in the area, with some clear standouts among the charter schools.
The Anansi Charter School and Taos Municipal Charter consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with significantly higher proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the Taos district and New Mexico averages. Meanwhile, the traditional public schools show a wider range of performance, with some, like Arroyo Del Norte Elementary, achieving strong results, while others struggle with low proficiency rates.
Across the district, graduation rates at Taos High School and Taos Cyber Magnet hover around 77%, slightly below the state average. Most Taos schools also have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating significant economic challenges for the student population. These factors likely play a role in the academic performance of the schools and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement.
