Reginald Chavez Elementary

Summary:

Reginald Chavez Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 207 students in grades PK-5. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Mexico elementary schools over the past several years, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the Albuquerque and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.

Reginald Chavez Elementary struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of New Mexico elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students. The school has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.9 to 12.1 students per teacher over the past three years.

The nearby Valle Vista Elementary, Lavaland Elementary, and Lew Wallace Elementary also perform poorly compared to the state averages, suggesting that the challenges faced by Reginald Chavez Elementary are not unique and may be systemic within the Albuquerque district. However, the nearby Coronado Elementary and Montessori of the Rio Grande are notable outliers, consistently outperforming the district and state averages, highlighting the potential for high-performing schools within the same geographic area.

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.
