Summary:
There is a single school in this area: Altura Preparatory School, a K–5 elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which also operates as its own district. It enrolls 263 students, and in 2024–2025 it reported 14.07% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch and a student–teacher ratio of 19.5. Because the district contains only this one school, every district-level score and ranking reflects Altura Preparatory School alone. Test results are available for 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.
The most striking thing about this school is its consistency at the top. It ranks #1 in New Mexico in each reported year — 1 of 346 schools in 2025–2026, 1 of 345 in 2024–2025, and 1 of 413 in 2023–2024 — always in the 100th percentile with 5 stars. As a district, Altura Preparatory School ranks 1 of 87, in the 99th percentile with 5 stars. This is not a one-year spike but a three-year pattern.
Proficiency rates far exceed state averages. In 2025–2026, all-grade language arts is at least 98% against state rates of 43.34% (NM Combined) and 44.66% (NM-MSSA), while all-grade mathematics is 82.68% versus 25.54% and 27.85%. Grade-level results follow the same pattern: language arts is at least 95% in 3rd and 4th grades and at least 90% in 5th grade, and math ranges from 75.00% in 4th grade to 88.64% in 3rd grade; 5th-grade science is 82.05%. In 2024–2025 the school posted 94.07% in ELA, 87.29% in math, and 91.43% in 5th-grade science. Math and science slipped year over year but remain roughly 50 points or more above the state. Note that several ELA figures are reported as lower bounds, so exact ELA proficiency and exact gaps cannot be stated — only that they are at least as high as the reported values.
