Summary:
MacArthur Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 175 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.
While MacArthur Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science, lags behind the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages, as well as several nearby higher-performing schools like Montessori Of The Rio Grande and Griegos Elementary. The school's proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year were 43% in English Language Arts, 20% in Mathematics, and 22% in Science, compared to the district's 39%, 24%, and 35%, respectively, and the state's 39%, 25%, and 36%. The school's performance for different student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, and white students, as well as English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, has varied significantly over the past few years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support.
MacArthur Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.3 in 2020-2021 to 9.4 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby schools. However, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students receiving this benefit in the past three school years, indicating a predominantly low-income student population that may require specialized resources and support to address their unique needs and challenges.
