Painted Sky Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, is consistently lower than the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Painted Sky Elementary's proficiency rates were 35% in ELA, 18% in Mathematics, and 23% in Science, compared to the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages of 39% in ELA, 24-25% in Mathematics, and 35-36% in Science. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past few years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 224 to 340 out of 396-435 New Mexico elementary schools. Painted Sky Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female and Hispanic students performing better than their male and White counterparts, respectively, but still lagging behind the state averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for English Language Learners (ELLs) and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 20-30% of New Mexico elementary schools.
While Painted Sky Elementary's performance is low compared to the state averages, it is also underperforming compared to some of the nearby schools in the Albuquerque School District. For example, Chaparral Elementary, which is located just 2.95 miles away, has higher proficiency rates in ELA, Mathematics, and Science than Painted Sky Elementary. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Painted Sky Elementary and the nearby schools suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the academic performance of these schools, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement if the right strategies and resources are put in place.
