Jemez Valley Elementary

Summary:

Jemez Valley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 129 students. The school is part of the Jemez Valley School District, which is ranked 114 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jemez Valley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New Mexico elementary schools, with a ranking of 404 out of 433 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state average in core subjects, with only 19% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 6% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 39% and 25% respectively. While the school's performance is slightly better than the nearby San Diego Riverside Charter School, both schools are well below the state average.

Jemez Valley Elementary has a high percentage of Native American students, with this subgroup ranking 99 out of 99 in the state in the 2021-2022 school year. The school also has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has faced significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students, which may be rooted in a combination of socioeconomic factors, resource constraints, and persistent low achievement. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond just the school itself and considers the broader community and district-level factors.

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.
