Summary

Rudolfo Anaya Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 574 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 54 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rudolfo Anaya Elementary consistently performs below the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 27.04%, compared to 43.65% for Albuquerque and 44.19% for the state. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 14.07%, compared to 26.48% for Albuquerque and 26.81% for the state. The school also struggles to perform well across various student subgroups, ranking particularly low for African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's low performance, there is no clear trend of improvement over time. The nearby schools in the Albuquerque district, such as Pajarito Elementary, Adobe Acres Elementary, and Carlos Rey Elementary, also perform below the district and state averages, but generally outperform Rudolfo Anaya Elementary. This suggests that the challenges faced by Rudolfo Anaya Elementary may be more pronounced or systemic within the school itself, rather than just a reflection of the broader district or regional performance.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, February 15, 2012

I have first grader at Rudolfo Anaya and I believe that the school is above average. They may be considered a failing school but they strive to teach our students at the highest level. The 2 teachers that my daughter has had so far are excellent teachers! My daughter is reading at a third grade level and I believe it is from the attentiveness of the teachers. We have to consider that the reason that some students are failing is due to the fact that their parents are not taking a vested interest in their child's education. Learning does not end when you leave the halls of Rudolfo Anaya, it needs to continue at home as well. The Principal and Vice Principal always make time for parents who have concerns or questions about the school or their child's progress at Rudolfo Anaya. It is a beautiful school with all the latest technology and any parent should be proud to say that their son or daughter attends Rudolfo Anaya. Close Quote
