Elementary Schools in Turquoise Trail Charter School

Summary:

Turquoise Trail Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the Turquoise Trail Charter School district. Serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of New Mexico elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent academic challenges.

While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.9%) and Mathematics (12.3%) for the 2024-2025 school year were below the statewide averages of 44.19% and 26.81%, respectively, its performance in Science (19.66% for all grades, 14.08% for 5th grade, and 28.26% for 8th grade) also fell short of the state averages of 35.14%, 29.3%, and 34.46%. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 17.6 in the 2023-2024 school year was slightly higher than the national average of around 16 students per teacher.

The relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students at Turquoise Trail Charter School, with 53.51% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Targeted interventions and support, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science, could help drive progress and improve student learning outcomes at the school.
