Cochiti Elementary

Summary:

Cochiti Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 207 students in grades PK-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.

Cochiti Elementary consistently underperforms the state and district averages in academic proficiency, with only 29% of students proficient in Language Arts, 12% in Mathematics, and 21% in Science, compared to state averages of 38%, 24%, and 34%, respectively. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in New Mexico. This is particularly concerning for Hispanic and low-income students, who make up a significant portion of the school's population. In contrast, nearby schools like Griegos Elementary and Montessori Of The Rio Grande have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings.

Despite Cochiti Elementary's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.4 to 12.2 over the past few years, the school's performance suggests that factors beyond class size, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be contributing to the challenges the school faces. The high concentration of students from low-income families and minority backgrounds at Cochiti Elementary may also be a factor in its underperformance, presenting an opportunity for the school district and school leadership to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the specific needs of the student population and improve academic outcomes.

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.
