Alameda Elementary

Summary:

Alameda Elementary is a public elementary school located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 235 students. The school is part of the Albuquerque School District, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alameda Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, Alameda Elementary's proficiency rates were 28% in ELA, 12% in Math, and 36% in Science, while the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages were around 39%, 24-25%, and 36%, respectively. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 142 out of 412 elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 321 out of 433 in 2023-2024. Alameda Elementary has also struggled to support its student subgroups, with lower rankings compared to other New Mexico elementary schools.

The data reveals a stark contrast between Alameda Elementary and some of the nearby high-performing schools, such as Petroglyph Elementary, Corrales Elementary, and Alvarado Elementary, which consistently outperform Alameda Elementary in academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The high concentration of students from low-income families at Alameda Elementary, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's underperformance. Targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to address the underlying factors are needed to improve academic outcomes at Alameda Elementary.

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.
