Summary

Valencia Elementary is a PK–6 school of 370 students on Monica Road in Los Lunas, New Mexico, part of Los Lunas Public Schools, and it is currently rated 1 star, ranking 260th of 346 New Mexico elementary schools (25th percentile) — the third year in a row at 1 star, with proficiency below both its district and the state in every core subject (31.22% in language arts and 19.58% in math, versus state figures of 43.34% and 25.54%).

The slide has been steep: Valencia Elementary sat at the 74th percentile with 4 stars in 2015‑16, and as recently as 2022‑23 its math proficiency (27%) exceeded the state's (24%) while its science beat the state by eight points; it now trails in both. Among ten same-district elementary peers it ranks 9th of 10 in ELA and 8th of 10 in math. Sundance Elementary, about 5.6 miles away with 617 students and 3 stars, posts ELA 15.5 points higher and math 14.3 points higher, and Bosque Farms Elementary reaches 60.59% ELA in the same district. Since reported free/reduced-price lunch is at or near 100% at every peer, economics doesn't separate them. Meanwhile, students per teacher improved from 21.5 to 16.8, so smaller classes alone haven't turned results around.

There are real bright spots: grade 6 math (36%) is above both district and state, and grade 5 science (31.25%) is above district and within a point of state — Valencia edges Sundance in both. The drag is in the early grades, where grade 3 and grade 4 math are both suppressed at under 20%, and grade 5 ELA (22.92%) is the weakest reading result in the school. Low-income students improved from the 16th to the 36th percentile, the clearest recent gain. Nearby Isleta Elementary School publishes no achievement data, so no comparison is possible there.
