Cochiti Elementary

Summary:

Cochiti Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 207. 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.

Cochiti Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 30% of Cochiti students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 39% for the state and district. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with only 12% of students proficient or better in 2022-2023, compared to 24% for the state. Cochiti's academic challenges are not due to a lack of staffing resources, as the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio similar to or lower than nearby schools like MacArthur Elementary, Mountain Mahogany Community School, and Griegos Elementary, which all have higher proficiency rates in core subjects.

The high percentage of students from low-income families at Cochiti Elementary is likely a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges. Research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to academic success, such as limited access to educational resources and support at home. While Cochiti Elementary faces persistent challenges in improving student outcomes, there may be opportunities for the school to learn from and collaborate with nearby higher-performing schools to address these issues and improve academic performance.

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.
