North Valley Academy

Summary:

North Valley Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, New Mexico, with 380 students. The school is part of the North Valley Academy District, which is ranked 59 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Valley Academy faces some unique challenges, including lower test scores, particularly in mathematics, where only 21% of students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 25%. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts (41% proficient) and Science (33% proficient) is closer to the state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students and Hispanic students outperforming White students. Additionally, North Valley Academy has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.63% in 2022-2023 to 99.32% in 2021-2022, suggesting the school serves a predominantly low-income student population.

Compared to nearby charter schools, such as Montessori Elementary School and Mountain Mahogany Community School, North Valley Academy's performance is generally lower, with these charter schools having higher test scores, higher rankings, and serving a less economically disadvantaged student population. However, North Valley Academy's performance is mixed compared to nearby traditional public schools in the Albuquerque district, as it outperforms some schools but lags behind higher-performing ones like Petroglyph Elementary and Alvarado Elementary.

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.
