Vaughn Elementary

Summary:

Vaughn Elementary is a small public elementary school in Vaughn, New Mexico, serving grades PK-6 with just 25 students enrolled in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its small size, the school has shown a mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in Language Arts matching the state average and Mathematics proficiency exceeding the state average.

Vaughn Elementary faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 92% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the state average. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.6 to 6.4 students per teacher, is a potential advantage that allows for more individualized attention and support. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, but in the current school year, it ranks in the top 25% of New Mexico elementary schools, with particularly strong performance among Hispanic students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Vaughn Elementary has faced challenges, it has also shown signs of academic improvement, with increasing proficiency rates in specific subject areas and grade levels. The school's ability to continue addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and building on its strengths, such as small class sizes, will be crucial in ensuring the long-term success and growth of Vaughn Elementary within the Vaughn school district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
