Arroyo Del Norte Elementary

Summary:

Arroyo Del Norte Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arroyo Seco, New Mexico, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 102 students. 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 from SchoolDigger.

Arroyo Del Norte Elementary has shown consistent academic improvement over the years, moving from a 2-star rating in 2016-2017 to a 4-star rating in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Science, but its Mathematics performance is slightly below the state and district averages. The school's female students and Hispanic student population have performed particularly well, and the school has been able to support its high-need, low socioeconomic status (SES) student population.

While Arroyo Del Norte Elementary outperforms the nearby Ranchos De Taos Elementary and Enos Garcia Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, it lags behind the high-performing Taos Municipal Charter and Anansi Charter School, which rank among the top elementary schools in the state. However, the school's consistent improvement, low student-teacher ratio, and ability to support its diverse student population make it a strong option for families in the Arroyo Seco community.

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.
