Summary

Eldorado High is an alternative public school located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 1,608 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.

Eldorado High has seen fluctuating four-year graduation rates over the past few years, ranging from 69.9% to 81.1%. While these rates are lower than the state average, they are still higher than some of the nearby alternative schools like Continuation School and Manzano High. Additionally, Eldorado High outperforms the Albuquerque and New Mexico averages in several key test score metrics, such as proficiency in NM-ASR/Science and SAT School Day/English Language Arts.

However, Eldorado High has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 24.41% in 2022-2023 to 57.96% in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the surrounding schools. Additionally, Eldorado High has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.6 to 16.3 over the past three years, which could present challenges in providing personalized attention and support to students.
