Los Puentes Charter

Summary:

Los Puentes Charter is a public charter high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 101 students. Despite its small class sizes, the school has consistently underperformed academically compared to the state and district averages, ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in New Mexico.

Los Puentes Charter has struggled with low academic proficiency, with only 10% of students proficient or better in Language Arts and 14% proficient or better in Science, compared to state averages of 38% and 34%, respectively. The school has ranked in the bottom 10-15% of high schools in the state over the past decade, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This persistent low performance suggests the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, who are predominantly Hispanic and Native American, and all come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While the relatively low student-teacher ratio at Los Puentes Charter could be seen as a potential advantage, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The nearby schools, such as Ace Leadership High School, Albuquerque High, and Digital Arts And Technology Academy, generally perform better academically and have higher statewide rankings than Los Puentes Charter, highlighting the significant gap in educational opportunities and outcomes between the school and others in the Albuquerque Public Schools district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
