Summary

Bellehaven Elementary is a small PK–5 school at 8701 Princess Jeanne St NE in Albuquerque, part of Albuquerque Public Schools, serving 216 students in an area where nearly every family qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch (99.54% in 2024–2025). Its student-teacher ratio of 9.3 is more favorable than at many nearby schools.

Academically, reading is a relative strength and math is the clearest challenge. In 2025–2026, 37.04% of students were proficient in language arts, compared with 43.55% districtwide and 43.34% statewide, while math proficiency was 16.05%, versus about 26% for both the district and the state. Third-grade reading (42.86%) was close to district and state levels, but 4th- and 5th-grade reading fell below, 5th-grade math came in under 20%, and 5th-grade science was 22.86%. Performance has also swung widely: after a strong 2024–2025 (64th percentile, 3 stars), the school dropped to the 24th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026. Third- and 4th-grade math scores were suppressed by the state, so no exact figures are available for those grades.

Among nearby schools, the school is mid-pack in reading and lower in math. Its reading rate beats Mark Twain Elementary, La Mesa Elementary, Tomasita Elementary, Inez Elementary, McCollum Elementary, and Hawthorne Elementary, but trails Sombra Del Monte Elementary, Collet Park Elementary, and Alice King Community School. Notably, Sombra Del Monte and Collet Park also serve almost entirely low-income students and still post higher reading and math results. In math, the school outpaces only Tomasita and McCollum. Subgroup results have been uneven: strong in 2024–2025 (83rd percentile for Hispanic students, 66th for low-income students), then lower in 2025–2026, while special education ranked in the 8th percentile with 0 stars in 2023–2024.
