Blanco Elementary

Summary:

Blanco Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bloomfield, New Mexico, serving grades 1-6 with a total enrollment of 161 students. The school is part of the Bloomfield School District, which is ranked 92 out of 119 districts in New Mexico and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blanco Elementary's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average but above the Bloomfield district average in most subjects and grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school had 38% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34% in the Bloomfield district and 39% statewide. In Mathematics, 32% of Blanco Elementary students were proficient or better, compared to 22% in the Bloomfield district and 25% statewide. However, the school's performance on Science assessments is notably lower, with only 11% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 31% in the Bloomfield district and 36% statewide. Blanco Elementary has shown strong performance for its Native American student population, ranking 10th out of 99 New Mexico elementary schools in 2021-2022, but its performance for White and English Language Learner students is lower.

Blanco Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of student performance, particularly in Science, and in serving its predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.5 to 12.5 students per teacher in recent years, may be a potential asset. Compared to nearby schools in the Farmington district, such as Mesa Verde Elementary and Country Club Elementary, Blanco Elementary generally performs better than the Bloomfield district average but lags behind the top-performing schools in the Farmington district.

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.
