William W & Josephine Dorn Charter Community School

Summary:

William W & Josephine Dorn Charter Community School is a small public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a total enrollment of just 49 students. 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.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates that are significantly lower than the Albuquerque and New Mexico averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were just 32% in English Language Arts and 24% in Mathematics, compared to 39% and 25% statewide, respectively. This may be due in part to the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.2 to 10.1 over the past few years, suggests that it may be providing additional support and resources for its students.

Compared to nearby public schools such as Cien Aguas International, Monte Vista Elementary, and Coronado Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and higher SchoolDigger rankings, the William W & Josephine Dorn Charter Community School's performance is generally lower. However, the school's small size and proximity to other public elementary schools may contribute to the competitive landscape and challenges in attracting and retaining students, as evidenced by the school's declining enrollment from 49 students in 2022-2023 to 49 students in 2023-2024.

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.
