Summary

Hayes Middle is a grades 6–8 school at 1100 Texas St NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 372 students as part of Albuquerque Public Schools.

Hayes Middle has ranked near the bottom of New Mexico middle schools for years. In 2025–2026 it placed 181st of 191 middle schools (bottom 5%, 0 stars), after finishing 191st of 192 the year before, and it has never exceeded the 16th percentile in the available history. Proficiency in 2025–2026 was 25.2% in English language arts, 10.4% in math, and 17.07% in 8th-grade science — roughly 17 to 19 points below state averages, with math at less than half the state rate.

Nearby comparisons are useful. McKinley Middle is nearly identical academically, while Kennedy Middle, Van Buren Middle, and Wilson Middle scored lower. But Grant Middle — just 0.77 miles away, with a similar 99.3% free/reduced lunch rate — outperforms Hayes by about 10 points in ELA and 11 in math, and Jackson Middle, Madison Middle, Jefferson Middle, and Cleveland Middle are far ahead. High poverty alone does not explain the difference, since Madison, Jefferson, and Cleveland also serve near-universal economic need. Hayes does have the lowest student–teacher ratio (9.5) among those nearby schools, but it has not yet translated into stronger outcomes. There are signs of modest improvement from a low base: ELA rose from 19% in 2022–2023 to 25.2%, and math from 3% in 2023–2024 to 10.4%. Weak spots include 6th-grade ELA (17.72%) and 8th-grade math (8.43%). Two caveats: Renaissance Academy Charter School has a much lower free/reduced lunch rate (54.03%) and serves grades 4–8, and Wilson's 8th-grade science is under 10%.
