Summary:
Chelwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 352 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Albuquerque Public Schools district, which is ranked 78 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Chelwood Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly in academic performance. The school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in proficiency rates for Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, Chelwood's proficiency rates were 27% in Language Arts, 14% in Mathematics, and 32% in Science, compared to the state averages of 38%, 24%, and 34%, respectively. Additionally, Chelwood Elementary ranks particularly low for its Hispanic, Native American, and White student subgroups, indicating significant achievement gaps for these populations. The school also has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, suggesting that all of its students come from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds.
While Chelwood Elementary struggles academically, some nearby schools, such as John Baker Elementary and Onate Elementary, perform significantly better, with proficiency rates well above the state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Chelwood are not necessarily inherent to the broader Albuquerque area. However, Chelwood's performance has remained consistently low over the past decade, indicating a need for more substantial and sustained interventions to address the school's challenges and ensure that all students, regardless of their background, have access to a high-quality education.
