Summary

East San Jose Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 335 students. The school is part of the Albuquerque School District, which is ranked 54 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East San Jose Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools for the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time. The school's performance on state assessments has been significantly below the Albuquerque and New Mexico averages, with only 34.21% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 19.74% proficient in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of New Mexico elementary schools for this subgroup.

While East San Jose Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Armijo Elementary and Longfellow Elementary, its academic performance is still significantly lower. This suggests that factors beyond just student-teacher ratio, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's underperformance. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just improving the student-teacher ratio.
