Summary

Double Eagle Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 526 students at 8901 Lowell St NE in Albuquerque's northeast heights, part of Albuquerque Public Schools. That district ranks 55th of 87 in New Mexico (2 stars), yet Double Eagle is a dramatic outlier within it: in 2025–2026 it ranked 4th of 346 elementary schools statewide — the 99th percentile, 5 stars — and it has placed in the top 12 statewide with 5 stars in every year of data provided.

Its proficiency rates are roughly double the district and state in Language Arts (83.45% versus about 43.5%) and nearly triple in Mathematics (73.59% versus about 25.5%). Fifth-grade Science (60.58%) is also well above the district and state (about 32%), though it is the school's comparatively softer subject. Fourth grade stands out most: 94.57% proficient in Language Arts and 81.52% in Math. The school is also highly effective across many student groups — its low-income students ranked 1st of 256 schools statewide in 2025–2026, and Hispanic, White, female, male, and English-learner subgroups all ranked at or near the 98th–100th percentile in recent years. Student-teacher ratio has improved to 14.7 in 2024–2025.

Among nearby schools, Double Eagle posts the highest Language Arts and Math results of any same-district neighbor — ahead of Hubert H Humphrey Elementary, S. Y. Jackson Elementary, Georgia O'Keeffe Elementary, and Dennis Chavez Elementary. Altura Preparatory School, a charter ranked 1st statewide, is the only nearby school ranked higher; its Language Arts is at least 98%, and its Math and Science are also higher. Several neighbors beat Double Eagle's 60.58% in 5th-grade Science: Humphrey (78.21%), Jackson (72.34%), North Star Elementary (69.57%), and Chavez (61.90%). Double Eagle's 14.7 student-teacher ratio is higher than most same-district peers — Chavez (11.5), Arroyo Del Oso Elementary (11.9), Edmund G Ross Elementary (12.4) — yet it still outperforms them in Language Arts and Math.
