Georgia O'Keeffe Elementary

Georgia O'Keeffe Elementary is a K–5 school at 11701 San Victorio NE in Albuquerque's northeast heights, serving 504 students in Albuquerque Public Schools. It is a 5-star school ranked 12th of 346 New Mexico elementary schools in 2025-2026 (97th percentile) — top 3% in the state — even though its own district ranks 55th of 87 (37th percentile, 2 stars). The results are school-level, not district-level.

In 2025-2026, 73.76% of students were proficient in language arts, 65.91% in math, and 58.62% in 5th-grade science. Math is the standout: roughly 2.6 times the state proficiency rate and about 40 points above the district, while reading runs about 1.7 times the state rate. The school has earned 5 stars every year on record and has never fallen below the 94th percentile statewide — a decade-long pattern, not a one-year spike. Math proficiency climbs from 56.84% in 3rd grade to 73.56% in 5th, while reading stays in a narrow 71–77 band. Subgroup rankings show broad effectiveness: female students 96th percentile, male students 95th, English language learners 93rd, and low-income students 89th. The student-teacher ratio is 13.4, improving slightly over three years.

Location matters here. Four of the state's top 12 elementaries sit within 2.6 miles: Double Eagle Elementary (4th), Hubert H Humphrey Elementary (5th), and S. Y. Jackson Elementary (10th). Georgia O'Keeffe's math is second only to Double Eagle locally, but science is its clear soft spot — Humphrey posts 78.21 and S. Y. Jackson 72.34 against its 58.62, and science is the only subject showing any downward signal over time. The same radius also contains Matheson Park Elementary (65th percentile). Class size is not the differentiator locally; the lowest-ranked nearby school has the smallest classes.
