Monterrey Elementary

Summary:

Monterrey Elementary is a public elementary school in Roswell, New Mexico, serving 409 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Roswell school district, which is ranked 69 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Monterrey Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, is generally lower than the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 30% in ELA, 12% in Mathematics, and 41% in Science, compared to the Roswell district averages of 37%, 21%, and 36%, respectively, and the New Mexico state averages of 39%, 25%, and 36%. Compared to nearby schools, Monterrey Elementary's performance is lower than Del Norte Elementary and Military Heights Elementary, but higher than Sunset Elementary.

Despite the school's consistently low academic performance, Monterrey Elementary has some strengths. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2, and it has performed well for English Language Learner students, ranking 24 out of 203 New Mexico elementary schools in the 2021-2022 school year. However, the school faces challenges in addressing equity issues, as it has significant disparities in performance between male and female students, as well as between Hispanic and White students. Additionally, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the overall 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.

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.
