Summary

Arroyo Del Norte Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arroyo Seco, New Mexico, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 93 students. The school is part of the Taos school district, which is ranked 37 out of 82 districts in New Mexico and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arroyo Del Norte Elementary has shown consistent performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics, with proficiency rates that outperform the state average. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rates have also been above the state average. Notably, Arroyo Del Norte Elementary has performed exceptionally well for its White and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student subgroups, ranking among the top schools in the state for these groups in recent years. The school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.5 to 12.5 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby schools.

Despite its small size, with only 93 students, Arroyo Del Norte Elementary has consistently maintained a 3- to 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a stable and solid academic performance. The school's high poverty rate, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, may present unique challenges that require specialized support and resources to address the needs of its student population. However, the school's proximity to several high-performing charter schools, such as Anansi Charter School and Taos Municipal Charter, may provide opportunities for collaboration and shared best practices.
