Summary:
The 87326 zip code area is home to two elementary schools: David Skeet Elementary and Chi Chil'tah Community School. These schools serve students in the Gallup and Chi Chil'tah Community School districts, respectively.
David Skeet Elementary has a relatively large enrollment of 250 students, but it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of New Mexico elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (19%), Math (10%), and Science (12%) are significantly below the state averages. In contrast, the smaller Chi Chil'tah Community School, with 69 students, has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.6 compared to 19.2 at David Skeet Elementary. However, both schools serve communities facing significant economic challenges, with over 95% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools, with David Skeet Elementary struggling to meet state proficiency standards across multiple subjects. The smaller size and lower student-teacher ratio at Chi Chil'tah Community School may indicate potential advantages in terms of more personalized attention and support for students, which could positively impact their learning outcomes. Overall, the analysis suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
