Summary:
The Los Lunas School District in New Mexico operates 10 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 65 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in academic performance.
Among the elementary schools, a few stand out as top performers. Bosque Farms Elementary consistently ranks among the top 60 elementary schools in New Mexico, with a 4-star rating and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Katherine Gallegos Elementary also ranks highly, within the top 50 elementary schools in the state, with strong proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts. Additionally, Peralta Elementary stands out with its 3-star rating and above-average performance in both subject areas compared to the other schools in the Los Lunas School District.
However, the data also reveals a significant gap in academic performance between the top-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district. The schools with the lowest proficiency rates, such as Los Lunas Elementary and Desert View Elementary, have rates well below the district and state averages. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the disparities in student outcomes across the district.
