Summary

Inez Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving around 300 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 54 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Inez Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from a high of 87th out of 410 New Mexico elementary schools in 2015-2016 to its current ranking of 225th out of 345 in 2024-2025. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.92% in 4th grade to 26.92% in 5th grade, significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate for all grades was 36.88% in 2024-2025, compared to 43.65% for Albuquerque and 44.19% for the state.

Inez Elementary has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from low-socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 8.8 to 12.2 students per teacher, could be a potential strength, but the school's underperformance on standardized tests suggests that class size alone may not be enough to overcome the challenges the school faces. In contrast, nearby schools like Comanche Elementary and Alice King Community School have maintained higher rankings and ratings during the same period.
