Bernalillo Elementary

Summary:

Bernalillo Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Bernalillo, New Mexico, with a student population of 302 and a student-teacher ratio of 12:1. The school faces significant challenges, with a high percentage of Hispanic (71.52%) and Native American (23.51%) students, consistently low academic performance, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bernalillo Elementary's proficiency rates in Language Arts (29%), Mathematics (14%), and Science (10%) are well below the state averages of 38%, 24%, and 34%, respectively. The school's subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, Native American students, and English Language Learners, all perform significantly below the state averages for their respective groups. Additionally, Bernalillo Elementary has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from low-income households.

In comparison, the nearby Corrales Elementary, which is part of the Albuquerque Public Schools district, has significantly higher proficiency rates in Language Arts (64%), Mathematics (51%), and Science (67%), and is ranked 30th out of 435 New Mexico elementary schools. This suggests that the challenges faced by Bernalillo Elementary may be unique to the school and its surrounding area, which is predominantly Hispanic and Native American. Despite these challenges, Bernalillo Elementary has shown some improvement in its Language Arts proficiency rate, indicating that there may be opportunities for further progress with targeted interventions and support.

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.
