Summary

Crownpoint Elementary is a public elementary school located in Crownpoint, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 264 students. The school is part of the Gallup school district, which is ranked 73 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crownpoint Elementary has consistently performed below average compared to other schools in New Mexico, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics significantly lower than the state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 29.93% compared to the state average of 44.19%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 21.9% compared to the state's 26.81%. However, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates are higher than the lower grades, suggesting potential issues with academic progression or achievement gaps. Interestingly, Crownpoint Elementary performs relatively well in serving its Native American and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations, ranking in the top 35 and top 30 schools in the state, respectively, for these subgroups in recent years.

The school's extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.24% to 100% in recent years, indicates a very high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This challenge is not unique to Crownpoint Elementary, as the nearby Tse'ii'ahi' Community School, Mariano Lake Community School, Dibe Yazhi Habitiin Olta' Inc., and T'iis Ts'ozi Bi'Olta' Community School also have very high percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing the unique needs of this population could be a key focus for improvement efforts at Crownpoint Elementary and the surrounding schools.
