Elementary Schools in Santa Fe

Summary:

The Santa Fe school district in New Mexico contains 20 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, with some standout institutions like El Dorado Community School and Wood-Gormley Elementary ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. However, other schools in the district struggle with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The top-performing schools in Santa Fe, such as El Dorado Community School and Wood-Gormley Elementary, boast exceptional proficiency rates, with over 60% of students meeting or exceeding standards in both subjects. In contrast, some lower-performing schools like Cesar Chavez Elementary and R.M. Sweeney Elementary have single-digit proficiency rates, indicating significant room for improvement.

Many of the elementary schools in Santa Fe serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with several schools reporting free/reduced lunch rates over 99%. This suggests a potential correlation between student socioeconomic status and academic achievement, which could be an area of focus for the district as it works to support all students and schools.
