Carlos Rey Elementary

Summary:

Carlos Rey Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 523 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Carlos Rey Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27% of Carlos Rey students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 39% for the Albuquerque district and the state of New Mexico. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, with subgroups like English Language Learners performing in the bottom quarter of New Mexico elementary schools. Additionally, Carlos Rey has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Carlos Rey Elementary's persistent underperformance suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address. The proximity of Carlos Rey to other schools in the Albuquerque district, such as Navajo Elementary and Alamosa Elementary, which face similar challenges, could present opportunities for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to improve outcomes for students.

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.
