Inez Elementary

Summary:

Inez Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 306 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.

Inez Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of Hispanic students (60.46%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 50-80% Hispanic. It also outperforms the state average in several key areas, including language arts proficiency (39% vs. 38% statewide) and science proficiency (48% vs. 34% statewide). However, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from 87th out of 410 schools in 2015-2016 to 205th out of 435 schools in 2022-2023, suggesting it may be struggling to maintain its academic performance.

Inez Elementary faces some unique challenges, including a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school also has significant performance disparities among different student subgroups, with male students and Hispanic students performing significantly worse than their female and White counterparts, respectively. While Inez Elementary generally outperforms some nearby schools like Hawthorne Elementary and Janet Kahn Fine Arts Academy, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Alice King Community School, a public charter school.

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.
