Better than 11% of New Mexico elementary schools

Summary

Atrisco Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 206 students. The school consistently performs significantly below the state and Albuquerque School District averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, with only 20.24% of students proficient or better in ELA and 11.76% in Mathematics.

Atrisco Elementary has struggled to support its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10% of New Mexico elementary schools for Hispanic, White, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students in ELA and Mathematics. The school has a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New Mexico elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 306 out of 345 in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the nearby Maryann Binford Elementary, Lavaland Elementary, and Barcelona Elementary also struggle, with most of them ranking in the bottom 20% of New Mexico elementary schools.

Despite these challenges, Atrisco Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.1 to 8.1 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from low-income households. These factors suggest that the school and the broader Albuquerque School District may require targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the persistent academic struggles and provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.
