Public, Charter, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

El Camino Real Academy is an alternative public charter school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 335 students in grades K-12. 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.

While El Camino Real Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school significantly underperforms compared to the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 12% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39% at the state and district levels. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 68.7% to 76.7% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average of around 76%. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (98.99% to 100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population.

When comparing El Camino Real Academy to nearby schools, such as Native American Community Academy and The International School at Mesa del Sol, it performs significantly worse in academic achievement across all subjects and grade levels. This suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in supporting its student population and improving educational outcomes, and may need to focus on improving its instructional practices, curriculum, and support services to better serve its high-need student population.

If I could rate this school a zero I would. The few good teachers leave to other schools. The ones that stay belittle and bully their small kids. Horrible way to start our new coming generations. The principal is never seen. Close Quote
