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. The school is part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past decade, Los Puentes Charter has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New Mexico high schools, with a four-year graduation rate of only 21.4% in 2022-2023, significantly lower than the state average of 76.7%. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is also significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 19% of students at Los Puentes Charter were proficient or better in science, compared to 36% statewide and 35% in the Albuquerque district. Additionally, the school serves a student population that is 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Los Puentes Charter to other nearby charter schools, such as Ace Leadership High School and Gordon Bernell Charter, the performance metrics are similarly low, with all three schools ranking in the bottom 20% of New Mexico high schools. In contrast, traditional public high schools in the Albuquerque district, such as Albuquerque High and Valley High, demonstrate significantly higher performance on standardized tests and graduation rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by Los Puentes Charter may be unique to the charter school model or the specific school's approach.
