Red River Valley Charter School

Summary:

Red River Valley Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the small town of Red River, New Mexico, with a total enrollment of 81 students. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking ranging from 61st to 268th among New Mexico elementary schools over the years.

While the school has shown strengths in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, outperforming the state average, it has struggled in Mathematics and Science, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state. However, the school has excelled in supporting low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 25th out of 410 New Mexico elementary schools in 2021-2022 and earning a 5-star rating. This suggests the school may have effective strategies in place to address the unique needs of this student population. The school's small size, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio, may also contribute to its ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students.

Compared to other nearby schools, such as Anansi Charter School and Arroyo Del Norte Elementary in the Taos school district, Red River Valley Charter School's overall performance has been more inconsistent. However, its exceptional support for low-SES students is a notable strength that sets it apart from some of its neighboring schools.

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.
