Summary

Griegos Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 234 students in grades K-5. The school consistently ranks in the top 30% of New Mexico elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and outperforms the Albuquerque and New Mexico averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.

Griegos Elementary's strong academic performance is particularly notable in 5th-grade, where 69.77% of students are proficient or better in ELA and 55.81% in Mathematics, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also performs well with male students, ranking in the top 15% of New Mexico elementary schools for this subgroup, and ranks in the top 25% for Hispanic students and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school struggles with English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the bottom 10% of New Mexico elementary schools for this subgroup.

Griegos Elementary is located in close proximity to several other high-performing schools, such as Montessori Of The Rio Grande and Alvarado Elementary, which also rank in the top 15% of New Mexico elementary schools. This suggests a concentration of educational resources and high-quality instruction in the surrounding area. Despite having a very high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population, Griegos Elementary has been able to maintain strong academic performance, suggesting effective strategies for supporting students from low-income backgrounds.

Awesome school!!! Great teachers and staff!! Lots of experience!!! A hidden gem. This school has so much to offer from the clubs to the classroom. The kids are constantly doing fun things that engage them. Nice principal and office staff very open to parents. My daughter went for kindergarten and couldn't have gotten a more experienced teacher who was born to teach!! My child was always safe and with a teacher from her grade. These teachers are welcoming to parents and any classroom activities that will benefit the kids. This school teaches and doesn't focus just on testing!! Close Quote
