Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87522

Summary:

The 87522 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Chimayo Elementary, which serves grades K-6 and has a total enrollment of 126 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (92.86%), with smaller percentages of Native American, White, and African American students.

Academically, Chimayo Elementary faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in Language Arts (29%) and Mathematics (19%) falling below the statewide averages of 38% and 24%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 290th out of 435 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 218th out of 420 in 2021-2022, with a 1-star rating in 2018-2019 and a 2-star rating in more recent years. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 may be a potential strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.

One notable aspect of Chimayo Elementary is the high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community it serves. This may have implications for the school's resources, funding, and the ability to provide additional support and services to students. Overall, the analysis suggests that Chimayo Elementary faces academic performance challenges, but its low student-teacher ratio could be leveraged to address these concerns and support the educational success of its predominantly Hispanic student population.
