Summary

Double Eagle Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 551 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

Double Eagle Elementary's exceptional academic performance extends across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, and traditionally underperforming groups like English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's student-teacher ratio is also relatively low, ranging from 15.6 to 17.3 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby schools in the Albuquerque School District. In contrast, the nearby schools generally perform below the state average, highlighting Double Eagle Elementary's status as a high-performing outlier within the district.

The relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Double Eagle Elementary, compared to the nearby schools, suggests that the school may benefit from a more advantaged student population. However, the school's consistent top-ranking performance in the state over the past 10 years is a remarkable achievement, indicating a sustained focus on academic excellence and effective teaching practices that could serve as a model for other schools in the Albuquerque School District and across New Mexico.
