Summary

Taos Integrated School Of Arts is a K–8 school serving 215 students on Toalne Street in Taos, New Mexico, where it makes up the entire Taos Integrated School Of Arts district — the 20th-ranked district out of 87 statewide.

Academically, the school performs well above the New Mexico average in all three subjects. In 2025–2026, 54.03% of students were proficient in language arts, 37.9% in math, and 45.24% in science — each roughly 10 to 12 points above the state. TISA has held a 4-star rating for eight consecutive reporting years, and its statewide standing has improved three years running (70th, then 77th, then 83rd percentile), landing at 60th of 346 ranked elementary schools. The middle grades are the engine: 6th-grade language arts reached 70% (state: 39.14%), and 8th-grade math hit 52.38% — more than double the state's 20.50%. Fifth-grade math (55%) and science (50%) are also strong. The thinnest margins over the state come in 6th-grade math and 8th-grade science (40.91% vs. 34.33%).

Among nearby schools, only Anansi Charter School posts higher math and science scores — and it serves a population with roughly half the free/reduced-lunch rate. The closest apples-to-apples comparison is Taos Municipal Charter: nearly identical enrollment (216), the same K–8 span, the same 100% free/reduced lunch, and essentially tied in reading — but TISA leads by 13.6 points in math and 10 points in science. TISA also outperforms better-staffed schools such as Enos Garcia Elementary in the Taos Municipal Schools district, with a small and improving 11.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Two caveats: results for some grades are suppressed by the state for privacy, and the school's Hispanic student subgroup fell to the 28th percentile in 2023–2024 after a 50th-percentile year — the one soft spot worth watching.
