Bluffview Elementary

Summary:

Bluffview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Farmington, New Mexico, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 371 students. The school is part of the Farmington school district, which is ranked 62 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bluffview Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Farmington district and the state of New Mexico in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21% of Bluffview students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35% in Farmington and 39% statewide. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 194 out of 396 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 333 out of 433 in 2023-2024. Bluffview Elementary struggles to support certain student subgroups, particularly Native American and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 20% of their respective statewide subgroup rankings. The school's performance for Hispanic and White students is also below average, ranking in the bottom half of their respective statewide subgroup rankings.

The nearby schools, such as Country Club Elementary, Ladera Del Norte Elementary, and Mesa Verde Elementary, significantly outperform Bluffview Elementary in academic achievement, with much higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. These higher-performing schools also have lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic outcomes.

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.
