Summary

Los Lunas Elementary is a PK–6 school at 800 Coronado Rd in Los Lunas, New Mexico, enrolling 458 students as part of Los Lunas Public Schools, a district ranked 63rd of 87 in the state. The school's own trajectory is the main story: it has slid from the 51st percentile statewide in 2021–22 to the 23rd percentile in 2025–26, and its last two years — both 1-star ratings — are the two lowest points in its ten-year record.

In 2025–26, 36.84% of students were proficient in English language arts and 18.42% in math — fewer than one in five, and roughly 7 points below the district in reading and 9.5 points below in math. Among 11 nearby elementary schools, it ranks 10th of 11 in math and 9th of 11 in reading. The gaps are concentrated rather than uniform: 3rd grade reading (51.85%) beats both district and state, and 5th grade science (27.12%) is nearly at district level, while 4th grade reading and 6th grade math (17.54% versus the district's 31.91%) lag badly. Third grade math is reported as under 20%. There is also good news: reading rose about 5 points in the last year while math slipped about 2.

Comparisons close to home are striking. Bosque Farms Elementary, 3.4 miles away, has the same 458 students, the same 17.6 student–teacher ratio and the same 100% free/reduced lunch, yet posts 60.59% in reading and 43.64% in math — roughly 24 and 25 points higher. Katherine Gallegos Elementary, 0.91 miles away, earns 4 stars with more students and a higher ratio. The school's class size jumped from 14.3 to 17.6 in one year, worth watching but not a proven cause. Its clearest strength is its English Language Learners program, which has outperformed the school's own overall standing every year it was measured.
