Elementary Schools in Estancia

Summary:

The Estancia school district in New Mexico is home to two elementary schools: Upper Elementary and Lower Elementary. Both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Upper Elementary is the stronger-performing of the two, ranking 165 out of 345 New Mexico elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the Estancia district and state averages in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, and achieved higher mathematics proficiency rates than the district and state across all grade levels. However, its 6th grade ELA proficiency rate was lower than the district and state.

In contrast, Lower Elementary lacks historical performance data, making it difficult to assess its relative standing. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic outcomes. Overall, the Estancia elementary schools face the challenge of serving a high-poverty student population, but Upper Elementary has demonstrated stronger academic performance compared to the district and state averages.
