Siembra Leadership High School

Summary:

Siembra Leadership High School is a public charter high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 283 students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico high schools, with a 1-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year.

Siembra Leadership High School significantly underperforms compared to the state and Albuquerque district averages in academic proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 22% of students were proficient or better in science, compared to 35% in Albuquerque and 36% statewide. The school also struggles with low graduation rates, declining from 76.0% in 2021-2022 to 59.8% in 2023-2024, lower than the state average and nearby schools like College and Career High School and Early College Academy. Siembra Leadership High School also ranks in the bottom half of New Mexico high schools for various student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, and white students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

The high percentage of students from low-income families and the school's low academic performance suggest that Siembra Leadership High School may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. However, this also presents an opportunity for the school and the Albuquerque district to identify and address the root causes of the school's challenges, potentially through targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and evidence-based instructional practices to improve student outcomes.

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.
