Wagon Mound Elementary

Summary:

Wagon Mound Elementary is a small public elementary school in Wagon Mound, New Mexico, serving just 43 students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Wagon Mound District, which is ranked 108th out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wagon Mound Elementary has seen a shift in its racial demographics, with the student population becoming more balanced in recent years, now comprising 23.26% White students and 76.74% Hispanic students. However, the school has consistently underperformed the state average in both language arts and mathematics proficiency, with only 17% of students proficient or better in language arts and 22% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to state averages of 38% and 24%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.8 to 7.7 students per teacher, Wagon Mound Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped significantly over the years, from 222nd out of 442 New Mexico elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 326th out of 435 in 2022-2023. The school's test score performance has also been inconsistent, with language arts proficiency rates ranging from 17% to 43.8% and mathematics proficiency rates ranging from 20% to 50% over the past two school years. These challenges suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the Wagon Mound Elementary student population.

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.
