Laguna Elementary School

Located off Interstate 40 West at Exit 114 in Laguna, New Mexico, Laguna Elementary School operates as an active, single-school public district dedicated to serving young learners in a rural remote community. Serving children from Kindergarten through fifth grade, this independent public school district provides a focused foundational education during crucial early developmental years. Operating as a vital hub within the region, the district maintains an accessible presence both locally and online, offering parents and researchers a clear window into its primary educational programming and community-centered approach.

The district supports a close-knit student body of 220 children—comprising 113 boys and 107 girls—representing a proud 100% American Indian student population. Laguna Elementary School stands out for its exceptionally strong staffing model designed to nurture academic growth and student well-being. With a total workforce of approximately 95 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, the district maintains nearly 46 full-time teachers alongside 8.5 instructional aides and over 40 support staff personnel. This remarkably low student-to-educator ratio allows for highly individualized attention, robust classroom assistance, and a supportive, culturally responsive learning environment for every enrolled student.
