Enos Garcia Elementary

Summary:

Enos Garcia Elementary is a public elementary school in Taos, New Mexico, serving 375 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Taos school district, which is ranked 41 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Despite its small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio, Enos Garcia Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance compared to the Taos district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 31% of Enos Garcia students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 45% in Taos and 39% statewide. The performance gap is even more pronounced in mathematics, with just 12% of Enos Garcia students proficient or better, compared to 24% in Taos and 25% statewide. This trend extends to science assessments as well, with Enos Garcia's 27% proficiency rate lagging behind the 39% in Taos and 36% statewide.

The academic challenges at Enos Garcia Elementary are not limited to specific student subgroups, as the school's performance is consistently lower across all demographics, including female, male, Hispanic, Native American, and White students, as well as English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Interestingly, the nearby Arroyo Del Norte Elementary, Anansi Charter School, and Taos Municipal Charter demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that Enos Garcia may need to explore strategies and best practices from these higher-performing schools to address its systemic 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.
