Crownpoint Elementary

Summary:

Crownpoint Elementary is a public elementary school in Crownpoint, New Mexico, serving 331 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Gallup school district, which is ranked 97 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crownpoint Elementary has had a fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 254 out of 433 elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year (2 stars) to as low as 412 out of 412 in the 2012-2013 school year (0 stars). The school's performance has generally been below the state average, with test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently lagging behind the state and district averages. Crownpoint Elementary has a high percentage of Native American and English Language Learner (ELL) students, as well as a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to the nearby Thoreau Elementary, which is also part of the Gallup school district, Crownpoint Elementary's performance is generally lower, with slightly higher test scores and a higher statewide ranking at Thoreau Elementary. The school's female students and Native American students have performed better than their male and overall student counterparts, respectively, in recent years, and the school's ELL students have also performed relatively well. However, the high percentage of low-income and ELL students at Crownpoint Elementary may present unique challenges in terms of academic support and resources needed to improve student outcomes, and the school's consistently low performance across multiple years and subjects suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and support systems.

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.
