Summary:
Five elementary schools serve ZIP code 87571 in Taos, New Mexico, enrolling a combined 1,059 students across grade spans that run from PK–5 at Enos Garcia Elementary to K–8 at Taos Municipal Charter, Taos Integrated School Of Arts, Taos International School, and Taos Day School. Four schools report state assessment results; Taos Day School has no test scores or ranking history, so its academic data is unavailable rather than low, and it cannot be compared on achievement.
Taos Integrated School Of Arts is the academic leader, with the highest math (37.90%) and science (45.24%) proficiency in the group and the only results above the state in all three subjects; it ranks 60th of 346 schools (83rd percentile, 4 stars), and its Taos Integrated School Of Arts district is rated 20th of 87. Taos Municipal Charter posts the highest English language arts result (55.41%) but has slipped three years running to 107th of 346 (69th percentile, 3 stars), with math falling from 31.29% to 24.32%. Enos Garcia Elementary is the most improved, climbing to 218th of 346 (37th percentile, 2 stars) as ELA rose from 36.31% to 46.62%. Taos International School has the lowest results — 27.88% ELA and 11.32% math — and its Taos International School district is rated 70th of 87 (1 star).
Reading is a community strength: three of the four tested schools match or beat the state in ELA, while math lags everywhere except Taos Integrated School Of Arts. Enos Garcia Elementary and Taos Municipal Charter show ELA-versus-math gaps nearly twice the state's, and Enos Garcia Elementary reports its 3rd- and 4th-grade math only as under 20%. Poverty is near-universal, with three schools at 100% free/reduced lunch, and Taos Day School is a staffing outlier at a 25.2 student-teacher ratio — more than double every other school. Privacy suppression means several grade-level figures, including all elementary math at Taos Municipal Charter, are unknown values, not zeros.
