TESUQUE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

TESUQUE ELEMENTARY is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the SANTA FE school district, located in TESUQUE, NM with about 98 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, TESUQUE ELEMENTARY has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

TESUQUE ELEMENTARY School is a small, rural public school situated in the scenic village of Tesuque, just north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Serving as a part of the Santa Fe Public Schools district, the school is known for its intimate campus atmosphere and strong sense of community.
