Summary

Gov Bent Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 306 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New Mexico elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0 or 1 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance compared to other schools in the state.

Gov Bent Elementary significantly underperforms the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.31% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 43.65% in Albuquerque and 44.19% statewide.
