Berino Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Gadsden district and the state of New Mexico in terms of proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, Berino Elementary's proficiency rates were 26% in ELA, 20% in Math, and 9% in Science, compared to the Gadsden district's 37%, 26%, and 31%, and the state's 39%, 25%, and 36%, respectively. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 131 out of 383 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 322 out of 433 in 2023-2024. Berino Elementary's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 30% or lower of New Mexico elementary schools.
Berino Elementary has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. The school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students has been inconsistent, ranking in the bottom 35% of New Mexico elementary schools in 2022-2023, but improving to the bottom 40% in 2023-2024. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.3 to 12.3 students per teacher in recent years, could be a potential strength, but this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Exploring the practices and strategies of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Desert Trail Elementary, Chaparral Elementary, and Santa Teresa Elementary, could provide valuable insights and opportunities for Berino Elementary to improve its performance.
