San Lorenzo Elementary

Summary:

San Lorenzo Elementary is a public elementary school in San Lorenzo, New Mexico, serving 68 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cobre Consolidated Schools district, which is ranked 82 out of 119 districts in the state.

San Lorenzo Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in academic proficiency. In the 2022-2023 school year, 56% of students were proficient or better in Language Arts, and 33% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 38% and 24%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly noteworthy in specific grade levels, with 55.6% of 3rd-grade students and 71.4% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Language Arts, and strong proficiency rates in Mathematics and Early Literacy as well. San Lorenzo Elementary has also consistently ranked highly in the state for the performance of specific student subgroups, including female students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.8 to 10.3 over the past few years, may be contributing factors to its success. San Lorenzo Elementary has maintained a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the past 15 years, suggesting the school has been able to sustain a high level of academic achievement over an extended period. This consistent high performance, along with the school's ability to effectively address the needs of traditionally underserved populations, provides valuable insights that could inform best practices for other schools in the region, such as G.W.Stout Elementary, Silver Scholars Academy, Hurley Elementary, Central Elementary, and Bayard Elementary, all of which are part of the Silver Consolidated Schools and Cobre Consolidated Schools districts.

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.
