El Camino Real Academy Community

Summary:

El Camino Real Academy Community is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with 778 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14:1. However, the school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of New Mexico elementary schools.

El Camino Real Academy Community's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 17% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39% at the Santa Fe district and state levels. In mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 5%, compared to 25% statewide. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of New Mexico elementary schools for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

When compared to nearby schools, the stark contrast in performance is evident. For example, Pinon Elementary, located just 2.87 miles away, ranked in the top 20% of New Mexico elementary schools and had significantly higher proficiency rates in all subjects. The high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at El Camino Real Academy Community, over 99%, indicates that the school serves a population facing significant economic hardship, which likely contributes to the academic challenges the school faces.

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.
