Summary

Edmund G Ross Elementary is a PK–5 school at 6700 Palomas NE in northeast Albuquerque, part of Albuquerque Public Schools, serving 343 students — nearly all of them economically disadvantaged, with free/reduced lunch reported at 99.7% in 2024-25.

For 2025-26, Ross ranks 271st of 346 New Mexico elementary schools (22nd percentile, 1 star). Roughly 1 in 3 students is proficient in reading (33.55%) and 1 in 5 in math (20.39%), both behind district and state rates. Among 11 comparable schools within about three miles, Ross ranks 9th of 11 in both subjects. It clearly outperforms Gov Bent Elementary and Alameda Elementary, but trails Dennis Chavez Elementary (1.3 miles away, 92nd percentile) and Hubert H Humphrey Elementary, where reading proficiency is more than double Ross's. Neighboring schools with nearly identical poverty rates span the full performance range, so intake alone doesn't explain the differences — and Ross's comparatively small classes (12.4 students per teacher) have not yet shown up in achievement.

Strengths include a 5th grade reading at state average (42%), 5th-grade science (34%) above both district and state, and Native American students who have consistently been among the school's strongest performers. Areas of concern include 3rd-grade math at 14.89% — about 40% below district and state — and English Language Learner and special education students ranking below the school's own overall standing. A 2023-24 high point (54th percentile, 3 stars) has since fallen 32 percentile points.
