Ann Parish Elementary

Summary:

Ann Parish Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Lunas, New Mexico, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 373 students. The school is part of the Los Lunas School District, which is ranked 87 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio, Ann Parish Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 35% in ELA, 21% in Math, and 18% in Science, compared to the district's 39%, 25%, and 29%, respectively, and the state's 39%, 25%, and 36%. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 195 and 255 out of around 420-435 elementary schools in New Mexico. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, the nearby Sundance Elementary, Katherine Gallegos Elementary, and Bosque Farms Elementary have consistently outperformed Ann Parish Elementary in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations. The school's performance for specific subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with special needs, has been particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom quartile and bottom 3% of the state, respectively. These findings suggest that factors beyond just student demographics, such as the quality of instruction, curriculum alignment, and targeted interventions, may be contributing to Ann Parish Elementary's academic challenges.

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.

Open Quote Very rude teachers and staff so disappointed, Do not send your kids there worst mistake I've ever done as a parent I try to be involved in my kids education as much as I can be but sending my kids there the teachers did not make me feel very welcomed not a friendly school if one teacher did not like you the rest of them made it impossible for a parent to participate in any activities they would have at the school,The new principal they have there Melissa Contreras is unprofessional . I'm glad I will be transferring my kids to another school. Much needs to be looked at by the school board. Close Quote

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.
