New Mexico Connections Academy

Summary:

New Mexico Connections Academy is a public charter virtual school serving grades 4-12 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with an enrollment of 1,401 students.

While the school has faced some challenges, including declining 4-year graduation rates (from 76.7% in 2022-2023 to 63.2% in 2021-2022) and lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average, particularly in mathematics (19% proficiency in 2023-2024 versus the state average of 25%), it serves a specialized population of students. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 48.8% to 54.22%) and higher student-teacher ratio (21.5 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools like Desert Sage Academy (14.8) and Nm School For The Deaf (4.4) may contribute to these challenges. In comparison, the nearby Aspen Community School also has lower proficiency rates than the state averages, suggesting the difficulties faced by alternative and virtual schools in the region.

Despite these challenges, New Mexico Connections Academy's status as an "Alternative School" indicates it likely serves a unique population of students who may have struggled in traditional school settings. Understanding the practices and strategies employed by similar successful alternative and virtual schools in the area, such as Desert Sage Academy, could provide valuable insights to help the school improve its outcomes and better serve its student population.

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.
