Summary

Rudolfo Anaya Elementary is a PK–5 school at 2800 Vermejo Park Dr SW in Albuquerque's South Valley/West Side, one of 87 schools in Albuquerque Public Schools, serving 592 students with a 13.3:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024-25 — the largest same-district elementary in its immediate cluster. Nearly every child there is low-income: 99.66% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, after two straight years at 100%.

Academically, the school sits near the floor statewide — 333rd of 346 ranked New Mexico schools in 2025-26, the 4th percentile with 0 stars. Its all-grades proficiency is 28.24% in Language Arts and 11.67% in Math, against district and state figures near 43% and 25%. Among nearby same-district schools, that is the second-lowest reading result (only Navajo Elementary at 18.35% is lower) and the third-lowest math, ahead of Navajo and Barcelona Elementary. Maryann Binford Elementary (38.38% reading) and Edward Gonzales Elementary (39.70%) score higher, and the school's 5th-grade science result of 12.82% trails both district and state by about 20 points.

Two patterns stand out. Math is proportionally the deeper problem: the school reaches only about 44% of state proficiency in math versus 65% in reading. Fifth-grade reading is a sharp internal cliff at 16.67%, roughly 18 points below its own 4th grade — yet 5th-grade math is the school's best grade-level math result, suggesting something specific to that year's literacy transition. On the encouraging side, English Language Learners ranked in the 30th–33rd percentile in 2023-24 and 2022-23, above the school's own overall standing. And within about 2.5 miles, Mission Achievement And Success 2.0 — with a 99.6% free-lunch population — posts 67.43% reading and 40.00% math.

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
