Apache Elementary

Summary:

Apache Elementary is an elementary school located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 288 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.

Apache Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools, with a ranking between 300-400 out of 400-450 schools over the past several years. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas, with only 19% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 7% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39% and 25% at the state level, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Apache Elementary has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from low-income families. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 13.2 students per teacher over the past three school years. These factors suggest that the school may face unique challenges in terms of resource allocation, student support, and addressing the needs of its student population. Nearby schools like Janet Kahn Fine Arts Academy and Matheson Park Elementary may offer different educational experiences and outcomes for families in the area.

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.
