Summary

Inez Elementary is a PK–5 school in Albuquerque Public Schools serving 309 students in Albuquerque, NM, with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.3 and a free/reduced lunch rate reported at 100%. In 2025–2026, Inez Elementary ranked 269th of 346 ranked New Mexico elementary schools — the 22nd percentile with 1 star, below the district's 37th percentile. This is not a new position: Inez was a 3- to 4-star school a decade ago, ranking 87th of 410 (79th percentile) in 2015–2016, and has declined fairly steadily since, dropping from the 56th percentile in 2021–2022 to 22nd in 2025–2026.

Academically, math and English language arts are the biggest gaps. All-grade math proficiency is 18.35% versus about 25.5% for the district and state; 3rd-grade math is 14.81% and 5th-grade math 18.75%, both well below district and state. All-grade ELA is 33.33%, and 5th-grade ELA is 25.40%, compared with district and state results in the low 40s. Science is the clear bright spot: 5th-grade science proficiency is 39.06%, above both district and state, and only Comanche Elementary among comparable nearby schools is clearly higher.

Compared with nearby schools, Inez Elementary sits below Comanche Elementary, Sombra Del Monte Elementary and Alice King Community School, but above Hawthorne Elementary, Zuni Elementary, Bellehaven Elementary and several others on 2025–2026 rank percentile. Comanche is a useful reference point: it serves a similarly high-poverty population (99.38% free/reduced lunch) yet posts 55.13% ELA and 37.82% math. Inez's smaller classes suggest class size is not the main driver. Subgroup effectiveness has also weakened: female, male, Hispanic, White and low-income students all rank near the bottom quartile statewide in 2025–2026, down from near or above the state median in earlier years.
