Summary

Griegos Elementary is a K–5 school at 4040 San Isidro NW in Albuquerque Public Schools, serving 229 students in a high-need neighborhood where nearly all families — about 99% — qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite that, the school's test scores remain above both district and state averages: 48% proficient in Language Arts versus 43.55% district and 43.34% state, and 30.65% in math versus 25.74% district and 25.54% state. What has changed is its relative standing. Griegos ranks 175th of 346 New Mexico schools (49th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, down from 105th of 345 (70th percentile, 4 stars) the year before and 118th of 413 (71st percentile) the year before that.

Compared with nearby schools, Griegos holds its own among high-poverty APS elementaries. It outperforms MacArthur Elementary, Reginald Chavez Elementary, Cochiti Elementary, Christine Duncan Heritage Academy, and Chaparral Elementary in both reading and math. Its closest twin is Mountain Mahogany Community School, with almost identical scores but a higher statewide rank (64th percentile). Alvarado Elementary serves a similarly low-income population and posts much stronger reading (71.09%) but only slightly higher math (32.03%), so Griegos is competitive in math but trails notably in reading. Montessori Of The Rio Grande scores highest nearby, and The Montessori Academy (a K–8 school in The Montessori Academy district) performs well with a high-poverty population, though both are less direct comparisons.

Grade by grade, results are uneven. Fourth grade is a clear bright spot, with 62.79% proficient in Language Arts and 39.53% in math, both well above average. Fifth grade is the main concern, with Language Arts at 33.33%, math at 31.71%, and science at 28.57% — all below district and state. Third-grade math is also weak at 20% versus 26.24% statewide. Math has slid over three years (37%, then 35.2%, now 30.65%), while Language Arts has held steady in the 46–50% range. Performance also dipped broadly across student groups, with low-income students falling from the 71st percentile to the 45th. The student–teacher ratio is 12.3, slightly higher than several nearby schools.

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
