Atrisco Heritage Academy High School is a public high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 2,055 students in grades 9-12. 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.

Despite serving a predominantly disadvantaged student population, with 100% to 100.88% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, Atrisco Heritage Academy High School has consistently underperformed compared to its peers in the state. The school has ranked in the bottom third of New Mexico high schools over the past several years, with rankings ranging from 112 out of 131 schools in 2024-2025 to 157 out of 181 schools in 2018-2019. Its performance across various student subgroups, including female, male, African American, Hispanic, and White students, is also in the bottom quartile of the state. The school's proficiency rates in standardized tests, such as the NM-ASR/Science, SAT School Day/English Language Arts, and SAT School Day/Mathematics, consistently lag behind the Albuquerque and New Mexico averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as West Mesa High, which is located about 5 miles away, Atrisco Heritage Academy High School is clearly underperforming across multiple metrics. However, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, as the school's performance for Native American students and English Language Learners has been relatively stronger compared to other subgroups, indicating that the school may have some effective practices in place that could be leveraged to improve overall student outcomes.
