Summary

Zuni Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 212 students at 6300 Claremont Ave NE, in the Zuni/Claremont corridor of northeast Albuquerque, within Albuquerque Public Schools. It is the smallest school among its nearby peers, and economic need is essentially universal: free and reduced-price lunch has been reported at 100% for three consecutive years.

Zuni currently holds 1 star, ranking 290 of 346 New Mexico elementary schools (16th percentile) in 2025-26 — below its own district, which sits at the 37th percentile statewide. Math is the sharper weakness: 15.96% proficiency against 25.74% district-wide, compared with 36.17% in language arts against 43.55%. That means Zuni's math proficiency is roughly 0.44 of its reading proficiency, while the district and state both run about 0.59. The gap is widest in 5th grade math, where Zuni reports 17.95% against 32.52% district-wide and 33.85% statewide, a deficit of about 15 points. Science is reported as under 20% in 5th grade, versus roughly 32–33% at district and state levels. Grade-by-grade, 3rd grade reading sits close to district norms (39.29 vs. 42.79), while 4th and 5th grades trail by roughly 10–12.5 points. Math results for 3rd and 4th grade are suppressed by the state because of small testing groups — that is unknown data, not a zero.

Zuni's neighborhood splits sharply into two tiers, and it falls in the lower one. Desert Willow Family School (98th percentile) and Comanche Elementary (75th percentile) are both within about 1.2 miles with similarly high poverty rates, showing that results in this area are not fixed by demographics alone. Inez Elementary, also at 100% free/reduced lunch, reaches 39.06% in 5th-grade science. There is real momentum — reading rose 8.8 points and math 2.75 points in 2025-26, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 10.8 over three years — but the overall rank still slipped from the 12th to the 16th percentile, and English Language Learner students (79th percentile, 4 stars in 2023-24) remain the clearest bright spot.
