School Overview

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. Its location, nestled along Bishop’s Lodge Road, allows the school to maintain a unique identity that bridges the gap between the traditional history of the Tesuque valley and the broader academic goals of the district.

The school is widely recognized for its emphasis on a nurturing, personalized learning environment that benefits from its smaller student body. Because of its setting, Tesuque Elementary often incorporates the natural beauty and local culture of Northern New Mexico into its educational philosophy. Parents and community members frequently highlight the school’s dedication to fostering close relationships between staff and students, providing a supportive foundation that encourages academic growth and character development within a peaceful, mountain-adjacent setting.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
