Summary

Grant Middle School in Albuquerque, NM is a grades 6–8 school in Albuquerque Public Schools with 286 students, serving a high-poverty neighborhood where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Statewide, Grant Middle ranks 135th of 191 New Mexico middle schools in 2025–2026 (29th percentile, 1 star), below its own district, Albuquerque Public Schools. Proficiency is 35.2% in language arts, 21.69% in math, and 20.24% in 8th-grade science, all below district and state. The sharpest local comparison is Hoover Middle, 2.9 miles away: it has almost the same poverty rate but ranks at the 75th percentile (4 stars) and scores roughly 20 points higher in every subject. The school is the median of its 11-school cluster—ahead of McKinley Middle, Hayes Middle, Wilson Middle, Kennedy Middle, and Van Buren Middle, but behind Hoover Middle, Renaissance Academy Charter School, Madison Middle, Cleveland Middle, and Jackson Middle. Small classes (10.6:1) have not translated into higher achievement; Hayes Middle and Kennedy Middle have similar or smaller ratios and rank at the bottom.

Recent trends are mixed. Math is the school’s relative strength: the gap to the state has narrowed to under 4 points, and 7th-grade math (28%) exceeds both district and state. The school essentially ties Renaissance Academy Charter School in math (21.69 vs. 21.05) despite a much higher poverty rate. But language arts fell about 6 points in one year, science is about 14 points below district and state, and the school’s statewide rank dropped from the 54th–56th percentile two years ago to the 29th today. English learners (71st percentile, 4 stars) and low-income students (60th percentile, 3 stars in 2023–2024) show the school can serve some groups well, while special education students sit at the 16th–24th percentile. The pattern suggests capacity exists, but the literacy and science declines are the trends to watch.
