Summary

Alice King Community School is a K–8 school at 8100 Mountain Rd. NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 384 students as part of Albuquerque Public Schools (APS), a district that ranks 55th of 87 statewide. Despite operating in a below-average district, the school consistently scores above both district and state averages. The defining story, however, is a recent slide: after years at the 73rd–92nd percentile (4–5 stars), Alice King fell to the 46th percentile in 2024-25 and the 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2025-26 — down roughly 30 points from its 2023-24 mark.

Language arts is the school's strongest subject at 46.6% proficiency, above the district (43.6%) and state (43.3%) — and no nearby school exceeds 37.0%, with McCollum Elementary (24.5%), Hawthorne Elementary (21.5%), Emerson Elementary (19.1%) and La Mesa Elementary (18.2%) far behind. Science is also a bright spot at 38.4%, comfortably above district and state, and its 8th-grade science score of 50% beats both by about 16 points. Math is the relative weakness: 27.6% overall edges district and state, but the NM-MSSA figure of 27.1% is slightly below both. About 31% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, versus roughly 98–100% at nearly every surrounding school.

Grade-level results are strikingly uneven. Third-grade ELA (33.3%) and math (below 20%) trail the district, and 5th grade lags in both subjects, but 6th, 7th and 8th grades outperform — 7th-grade ELA is 60% and 8th-grade ELA 54.6%. Against neighbors, Alice King's 41st-percentile rank sits well ahead of Inez Elementary (22nd), Zuni Elementary (16th), Janet Kahn Fine Arts Academy (16th), Ecademy K-8 (9th), and the bottom-5% group of La Mesa, Mark Twain Elementary and Hawthorne. Subgroup trends bear watching: male students dropped from the 80th percentile in 2022-23 to the 34th in 2025-26, while low-income students sit near the school average at the 50th percentile. The key question is whether the two-year decline is a cohort blip or a sustained slide.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, January 14, 2021

My daughter and I used to love this school, but the way it has handled reopening during Covid has been an absolute disgrace. Every time the school meets a target for return, the school board and administration simply change the target. 80 of teachers say that they don't want the children back in, the data that says it's safe (for hybrid, masked etc) notwithstanding. They have no interest in the science. But here's the real issue: to add insult to injury, the teachers bring their OWN children into the school to be taught in small groups -- while preventing every other child from coming in. Their children are thriving because they continue to go in, while they vote to keep others out. The hypocrisy and constant lies and ulterior motives (to ensure their own children thrive, but keep others out) are disgusting. They could not care less about the children at their school. I've disenrolled my daughter and know many other parents who plan to disenroll their children. After seeing how the teachers speak about children (that they're dirty little germ-carriers whose families can't be trusted), I would strongly advise other parents to stay away. Close Quote
