Bayard Elementary

Summary:

Bayard Elementary is a public elementary school in Bayard, New Mexico, serving 170 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cobre District, which is ranked 70 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Bayard Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance in core subjects is below the state and district averages, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates are consistently low. While female and Hispanic students perform better than their male and White counterparts, the school's performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students is a significant concern, with a 1-star rating. However, Bayard Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.1 to 10.4 students per teacher, may be a potential advantage.

Compared to nearby schools, Bayard Elementary's performance is generally lower than other Cobre District elementary schools, such as San Lorenzo Elementary and Hurley Elementary. The nearby Silver City schools, like Jose Barrios Elementary and G.W. Stout Elementary, consistently outperform Bayard Elementary in student achievement and rankings.

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.
