George I Sanchez

Summary:

George I Sanchez is an elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades PK-8 with 1,221 students. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, achievement gaps for underrepresented student groups, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

George I Sanchez has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (86.9%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 68.75% to 95.75% Hispanic. However, the school consistently underperforms the state and Albuquerque Public Schools district averages in proficiency for Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in 2021-2022, the school's Language Arts proficiency rate was 25.6%, compared to the state average of 33.8% and the district average of 35.8%. The school also struggles with the performance of African American, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 10% of New Mexico elementary schools for these subgroups.

With a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, George I Sanchez serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.1 to 15.7 over the past three years, compared to nearby schools, which have ratios ranging from 9.5 to 14.2. These factors likely contribute to the school's overall academic challenges. While the nearby schools within the Albuquerque Public Schools district also struggle with low performance, George I Sanchez consistently ranks lower than these schools, suggesting it faces additional barriers to student success.

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.

Open Quote Former teacher. Don't work there. The kids and families are worth it. The administration is not. They pick favorites, based on things that have nothing to do with work performance. They seem OK at first but they're pretty shady. Incompetent, but have no clue that they are. The students enrolled there deserve better. Close Quote

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.
