Summary:
The 87041 zip code in New Mexico is home to two schools, Cochiti Elementary and Cochiti Middle, both of which serve predominantly Native American student populations and face significant challenges related to poverty and low academic performance.
While the schools have a high percentage of Native American students, reaching over 75% at both campuses, their academic proficiency rates lag behind state averages. Cochiti Elementary has just 14% proficiency in Language Arts, while Cochiti Middle struggles with 41% proficiency in Language Arts, 13% in Math, and 21% in Science. Additionally, both schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating extremely high levels of poverty in the community.
The data suggests that the schools in this Bernalillo Public Schools district face significant challenges in serving their student populations, likely due to the combination of high-poverty, high-minority demographics. To improve student outcomes, these schools would likely benefit from targeted interventions, additional resources, and specialized support tailored to the unique needs of their communities.
