Summary

Hodgin Elementary is a PK–5 school in Albuquerque Public Schools at 3801 Morningside Dr NE, serving 392 students — larger than most nearby elementaries, with a student body that is essentially universally low-income. In 2025–2026 it ranked 341st of 346 elementary schools statewide (1st percentile, 0 stars), the lowest position in its decade-long record. Its district is itself below average statewide, so Hodgin falls well below an already-modest local benchmark.

On 2025–2026 NM-MSSA, 23.31% of Hodgin students were proficient in English language arts (district 44.59%, state 44.66%) and 9.7% in math (district 27.69%, state 27.85%) — roughly half the state rate in reading and about a third in math. Every tested grade is below the state, with math under 20% in all three. Fifth grade is the clearest warning: ELA falls from 30.77% in 4th grade to 16.67% in 5th on NM-MSSA, and 5th-grade science was 14.81% on NM-ASR. Every measured student group ranks in the bottom fifth of the state, pointing to a school-wide pattern rather than a single group being underserved.

The most important comparison is poverty-matched. Desert Willow Family School, 0.58 miles away with nearly identical low-income enrollment, scored 83.6% in ELA and 74.6% in math (7th of 346, 98th percentile). Comanche Elementary, 2.25 miles away at 99.38% low-income enrollment, scored above the state average in reading, math, and science (75th percentile). Bel-Air Elementary is comparable or slightly weaker in math and Gov Bent Elementary is lower, but Zuni Elementary, Montezuma Elementary, Mission Avenue Elementary, and Ecademy K-8 all outperform Hodgin within two miles. Class size is not the obvious explanation: Hodgin's student-teacher ratio of 10.2 is lower than nearly all of these neighbors.

I went here for a year back in 3rd grade, and it was awful. Might have changed, might have changed. Still, I would double check to be sure this is where you wanted your kid to go. Close Quote
