Summary:

The city of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico is home to a single elementary school, Ranchos De Taos Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools over the past three school years, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement.

Ranchos De Taos Elementary's performance on the NM-MSSA assessments is below the Taos district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 34.29% in English Language Arts and 18.1% in Mathematics, compared to the Taos district at 46.1% and 24.39%, and the New Mexico state averages of 44.19% and 26.81%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students receiving this benefit in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the small student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, which could be a positive factor, the significant gaps in proficiency rates suggest that students at Ranchos De Taos Elementary may be struggling to meet grade-level standards. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted strategies to improve student learning outcomes should be a priority for the school and district.
