Summary

Albuquerque High is a public high school located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,683 students. The school is part of the Albuquerque School District, which is ranked 54 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Albuquerque High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 46th to 97th out of 181 New Mexico high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied from 2 to 4 stars. The school performs relatively well for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Native American students, ranking in the top half or top quartile of New Mexico high schools for these groups. However, the school struggles with the performance of English Language Learners, Special Education, and Disabled students, ranking in the bottom half or bottom quartile of the state. Albuquerque High's test scores in science, English language arts, and mathematics are generally higher than the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages, and the school's strongest performance is in science, where it consistently ranks above 40% proficiency.

Albuquerque High is surrounded by several public charter high schools, such as College And Career High School and Early College Academy, which outperform it in terms of statewide ranking and test scores. However, these charter schools tend to have lower enrollment and serve a smaller proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to Albuquerque High, which has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.92% to 110.81% in recent years.
