Mesa View Elementary

Summary:

Mesa View Elementary is a public elementary school serving 475 students in grades PK-6 in Grants, New Mexico, which is part of the Grants-Cibola County Schools district.

While Mesa View Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school consistently underperforms the state average in academic proficiency, with only 32% of students proficient in Language Arts, 21% in Mathematics, and 19% in Science. This academic underperformance is a key challenge for the school. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American students and English Language Learners performing much worse than their Hispanic and White peers. In fact, the school ranks in the bottom 25% of New Mexico elementary schools for these subgroups. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger also places it well below the state's top-performing schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Grants-Cibola County Schools district show a wide range of performance. For example, Bluewater Elementary is a high-performing school, ranking in the top 5% of New Mexico elementary schools, while Milan Elementary and Mount Taylor Elementary, which are closer in proximity to Mesa View, perform similarly to or slightly better than Mesa View. Additionally, the fact that 100% of Mesa View Elementary's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a highly economically disadvantaged community, which likely plays a significant role in the school's overall 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.
