Summary

Enos Garcia Elementary is a PK–5 school at 305 Don Fernando in Taos, New Mexico, serving 348 students as part of Taos Municipal Schools — the largest elementary enrollment among the nearby schools it is typically compared with. For most of the past decade it sat in the bottom quartile of New Mexico schools, with eleven straight years at 1 star, but in 2025-2026 it earned its best result in the ten-year record: 218th of 346 schools, 37th percentile, 2 stars.

That gain is almost entirely a reading story. ELA proficiency is 46.62%, above the district's 44.95% and the state's 44.66%, and it has climbed from 26% in 2022-2023 to 46.62% in 2025-2026. Math, by contrast, sits at 13.51% — roughly half the state rate of 27.85% — creating a 33-point gap between reading and math. Among nine nearby schools with reported math data, only Taos International School (11.32%) scores lower. Three strong local options — Taos Integrated School Of Arts (38.52% math), Anansi Charter School (44.19%), and Taos Municipal Charter (24.32%) — all outperform it. Poverty alone does not explain the gap: Arroyo Del Norte Elementary and Taos Municipal Charter serve the same 100% free/reduced-lunch population and still beat Enos Garcia in math by 11–14 points.

There are real strengths to build on. Class sizes are small, at 10.3 students per teacher — the second-best ratio in the comparison set — and improving year over year. Every 2025-2026 student group ranked between the 31st and 44th percentile, so no group is falling far behind, and third- and fifth-grade reading beat both district and state. Nearby charters offer K–8 continuity that this PK–5 school does not. The single change most likely to lift Enos Garcia toward the top third of New Mexico elementary schools is bringing math anywhere near its reading results.
