Atrisco Elementary

Summary:

Atrisco Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 248 students in grades PK-5. Despite being part of the Albuquerque Public Schools district, Atrisco Elementary consistently underperforms, ranking in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in the state.

Atrisco Elementary's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages, with only 14% of students proficient in Language Arts and just 3% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 38% and 24%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking of 427 out of 435 elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year reflects its persistent struggles, particularly for Hispanic students and those from low-income households. In fact, Atrisco Elementary has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-income families.

While the nearby schools in the Albuquerque Public Schools district also perform below the state average, Atrisco Elementary consistently ranks lower than its peers, such as Mission Achievement And Success 2.0 and Albuquerque Collegiate Charter School, which are located in the immediate vicinity. This suggests that Atrisco Elementary may face unique challenges or barriers to improving student achievement, and there may be opportunities for the school to learn from and collaborate with these successful models.

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.
