Summary

Coronado Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 301 students in grades K-5. The school consistently outperforms the Albuquerque and New Mexico averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 49.38% of students proficient or better in ELA and 35.8% in Mathematics, compared to 43.65% and 26.48% in Albuquerque, and 44.19% and 26.81% statewide.

Coronado Elementary has a strong performance across different student subgroups, particularly for male students and African American students. In the 2021-2022 school year, the school ranked 62 out of 392 New Mexico elementary schools for male students and 9 out of 56 for African American students, both with a 4-star rating. The school's performance for Hispanic and White students is also above the state average. Coronado Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 14.2 students per teacher over the past three school years, lower than the nearby Valle Vista Elementary, Armijo Elementary, and Lowell Elementary, which have ratios ranging from 7.5 to 12.3 students per teacher.

While Coronado Elementary faces some socioeconomic challenges, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 29% in 2021-2022 to 64.12% in 2023-2024, the school has maintained a strong performance over the years, consistently ranking in the top 30% of New Mexico elementary schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.
