Abiquiu Elementary

Public Grades K-6

Summary

Abiquiu Elementary is a public elementary school located in Espanola, New Mexico, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 93 students. The school is part of the Espanola School District, which is ranked 99 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Abiquiu Elementary has shown fluctuating performance on state assessments over the years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (24%) and Mathematics (24%) on par with the Espanola district average but significantly below the state average (39% in ELA and 25% in Math) in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. The school has also seen significant variations in the performance of different student subgroups, with the Hispanic student group and low-socioeconomic status students performing significantly below the state average in recent years. However, Abiquiu Elementary has had a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.7 to 13.2 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby San Juan Elementary and Alcalde Elementary schools in the Espanola district.

The consistently high free and reduced lunch rate of 100% at Abiquiu Elementary highlights the significant economic challenges faced by the school's student population. This may contribute to the academic struggles observed, and the school's performance suggests that the challenges facing Abiquiu Elementary may be systemic within the Espanola district. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, providing targeted interventions for struggling students, and leveraging community resources to support the school's families.
