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.

Ladera Del Norte Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of New Mexico elementary schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 133 out of 433 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the district and state averages, with 39% proficiency in English Language Arts, 34% in mathematics, and 45% in science. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners, has been more mixed, with rankings in the middle to lower range compared to other New Mexico elementary schools.

Ladera Del Norte Elementary generally outperforms many of the nearby schools in the Farmington district, particularly in academic proficiency rates. The school's relatively lower free and reduced lunch rates compared to some nearby schools, such as Esperanza Elementary, McCormick Elementary, Bluffview Elementary, and Northeast Elementary, may indicate a more diverse socioeconomic makeup of the student population, which could contribute to the school's overall academic success. Additionally, Ladera Del Norte's low student-teacher ratio suggests a focus on providing personalized attention and support to students, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.

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.
