Summary

Gonzales Elementary is a K–8 school at 851 West Alameda in Santa Fe, New Mexico, serving 328 students in Santa Fe Public Schools, a district ranked 56th of 87 statewide (36th percentile, 2 stars). The school's 2025–26 statewide rank is 176th of 346 — the 49th percentile, 2 stars. Its history is mostly middle-of-the-pack, with 3-star years in 2022–23, 2018–19, 2016–17, and 2014–15; it rose from the 40th percentile in 2024–25 to 49th, still below its 2022–23 high of 59th. Free/reduced lunch was 100% in 2024–25, 99.35% in 2023–24, and 100% in 2022–23, and the student–teacher ratio was 12.5, slightly below the nearby average of about 13.1.

Gonzales is not uniformly low-performing. In 2025–26, all-grade ELA was 45.33, above the district's 42.65 and slightly above the state's 44.66, while math was 17.29 (district 25.65, state 27.85) and science 22.06 (district 29.53, state 33.62). Middle-school ELA is a bright spot: grades 6, 7, and 8 all scored above district and state, while grades 3–5 ELA is slightly below both. Math is weak across grades — 3rd, 4th, and 8th grade math were reported under 20%, and 5th grade math was suppressed by the state. Science looks volatile: all-grade science was 37.97 in 2024–25, above district and state, before dropping this year; 5th grade science was suppressed.

Among nearby schools, Gonzales sits below the middle overall, but its ELA is above the nearby median of roughly 39–41 and the strongest among nearby schools reporting 100% free/reduced lunch. Math, at 17.29, is below the nearby median of about 26 and above only Salazar Elementary, Kearny Elementary, and Ramirez Thomas Elementary. It trails top nearby schools such as Wood-Gormley Elementary, Carlos Gilbert Elementary, and Acequia Madre Elementary. Subgroup ranks are mixed: female students were at the 87th percentile and low-SES students at the 76th percentile in 2025–26 (both 4 stars), while special education students were at the 20th percentile in 2023–24 and English language learners at the 33rd percentile in 2021–22.
