Coronado Middle

Summary:

Coronado Middle School is a small public middle school in Gallina, New Mexico, serving grades 6-8 with just 36 students. Despite its small size, this school has a strong track record of academic performance, consistently outpacing the Jemez Mountain school district and the state of New Mexico in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

Coronado Middle's standout features include its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.7 to 7.7 students per teacher over the past three years, significantly lower than the nearby Cuba Middle School at 11.8 students per teacher. Additionally, Coronado Middle serves a 100% free and reduced lunch population, indicating that all of its students come from low-income households. The school's strong performance for Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students is particularly noteworthy, with the school ranking among the top 11th and 6th middle schools in New Mexico for these subgroups in 2018-2019.

While Coronado Middle has historically been a high-performing school, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from a high of 26th out of 200 New Mexico middle schools in 2018-2019 to 169th out of 235 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic excellence compared to other middle schools in the state. However, Coronado Middle's continued strong performance, particularly for its underserved student populations, provides valuable insights that could benefit other schools in the Cuba and Jemez Mountain districts.

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.
