Summary:
The Ask Academy is the only school in this area, and it is also its own district — the The Ask Academy district — located at 4550 Sundt Rd NE in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, serving grades 6 through 12 with 558 students. Although the area summary counts it as a high school, it spans both middle and high school grades. It has earned five stars — the highest rating available — in each of the last three school years, finishing 2nd out of 131 New Mexico high schools in 2024–2025 and 11th out of 132 in 2025–2026, keeping it in the top 8% of the state each year.
Students here outperform the state in every subject tested. In 2025–2026, 68.42% of students were proficient in language arts versus 43.34% statewide, 46.81% in math versus 25.54%, and 61.96% in science versus 33.40% — advantages of roughly 20 to 29 percentage points. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 91.2%, well above the statewide 80.6%, and the school's 11th graders posted some of their widest margins: 72.13% proficient in English language arts versus 36.78% statewide and 68.75% in science versus 34.02%.
Math is the relative soft spot. It is the lowest-scoring subject — 46.81% overall — and it declines across the middle grades, from 60.82% in 6th grade to 44.23% in 7th and 39.39% in 8th, even as English language arts holds steady and rises. Still, even these math results sit 17 to 28 points above their state counterparts, and 11th-grade math is about 3.2 times the state rate. Science slipped 3.07 points year over year while ELA and math each gained about 2 points. Free/reduced lunch (17.74%) and the student/teacher ratio (13:1) are reported for only one year, so no trend can be established from them.
