Abiquiu Elementary

Summary:

Abiquiu Elementary is a public elementary school located in Espanola, New Mexico, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 93 students. The school is part of the Espanola School District, which is ranked 99 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Abiquiu Elementary has shown fluctuating performance on state assessments over the years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (24%) and Mathematics (24%) on par with the Espanola district average but significantly below the state average (39% in ELA and 25% in Math) in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. The school has also seen significant variations in the performance of different student subgroups, with the Hispanic student group and low-socioeconomic status students performing significantly below the state average in recent years. However, Abiquiu Elementary has had a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.7 to 13.2 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby San Juan Elementary and Alcalde Elementary schools in the Espanola district.

The consistently high free and reduced lunch rate of 100% at Abiquiu Elementary highlights the significant economic challenges faced by the school's student population. This may contribute to the academic struggles observed, and the school's performance suggests that the challenges facing Abiquiu Elementary may be systemic within the Espanola district. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, providing targeted interventions for struggling students, and leveraging community resources to support the school's families.

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.
