Arroyo Del Oso Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from a high of 35th out of 383 New Mexico elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 209th out of 345 in 2024-2025. Its current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger also indicates below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 37.06%, compared to 43.65% for Albuquerque and 44.19% for the state, while its math proficiency rate for all grades was 22.38%, compared to 26.48% for Albuquerque and 26.81% for the state.

Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 100% to 100.34% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

ADO may have been a 5 star Elementary School once but it is not anymore. The Principal has run it to the ground. Parents and teachers alike are very unhappy. Many promises unkept, zero communication, and no consistency.
I do not recommend this school. Close Quote
