Francis X. Nava Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Santa Fe and New Mexico state averages in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science proficiency. In 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 37%, compared to 39% for Santa Fe and the state, while in Mathematics, it was 22%, compared to 23% for Santa Fe and 25% for the state. The school has struggled to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of New Mexico elementary schools. However, the school has performed relatively better in supporting the academic achievement of low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top half of New Mexico elementary schools in this category.

The data reveals a stark contrast between the academic performance of Francis X. Nava Elementary and some of the nearby high-performing schools, such as Wood-Gormley Elementary and Carlos Gilbert Elementary, which have consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in New Mexico. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Francis X. Nava Elementary suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the academic performance issues. Addressing the underlying factors and implementing effective strategies to improve student outcomes should be a priority for the school and the Santa Fe school district.

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.
