Elida Elementary

Summary:

Elida Elementary is a public elementary school located in Elida, New Mexico, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 91 students. This small school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, outperforming many larger schools in the region.

Elida Elementary's academic performance is significantly higher than the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, 51% of Elida students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 39%, and 42% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 25%. The school's performance is particularly strong for female and male students, ranking 55th and 102nd, respectively, out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools. However, the school's rankings for Hispanic and White students are more mixed, suggesting a need to address the specific needs of these subgroups.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, with 59.34% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Elida Elementary has been able to maintain strong academic performance, ranking 91st out of 426 New Mexico elementary schools for low-SES students in 2022-2023. This resilience, combined with the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio, highlights the potential for small, well-resourced schools to have a significant impact on student outcomes, even in disadvantaged communities.

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.
