Summary

Atrisco Heritage Academy High School is a large public high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 1,930 students in grades 9–12 at 10800 Dennis Chavez Blvd SW, with a very high-poverty student population. It is part of Albuquerque Public Schools. In 2024–25, 96.37% of students received free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.5, improved from 16.4 in 2022–23. The district itself ranks 55 of 87 in New Mexico (37th percentile, 2 stars), while Atrisco’s 2025–26 school rank is 102 of 132 (23rd percentile, 1 star).

Atrisco’s academic results show a striking split. Its graduation rate is a strength: 81.0% in 2024–25, above the district’s 75.6% and the state’s 80.6%, and up from 73.0% in 2021–22. But test proficiency is far below district and state levels in every core subject. Math is the sharpest gap, with only 5.75% proficiency on NM Combined All Grades and 5.51% on SAT School Day—roughly one-fifth to one-fourth of district and state math proficiency. Language arts is 28% and science is 23.54%, also below district and state. Among nearby schools, Atrisco graduates more students than West Mesa High (70.6%) and Rio Grande High (74.1%), but its math is similarly low to West Mesa and higher than Rio Grande. South Valley Academy, with similar high poverty (99.5% free/reduced lunch), posts a 92.5% graduation rate and 18.44% all-grade math proficiency, showing what higher outcomes can look like in a comparable setting.

The school has shown modest upward momentum, moving from the 12th percentile in 2023–24 to the 23rd percentile in 2025–26, but it remains in the bottom quartile statewide. Subgroup effectiveness rankings are mostly in the bottom quartile, with special education a serious concern: the school ranked last among 32 schools for that subgroup in 2023–24. Some student groups have had brighter historical spots, but overall the school does not consistently serve many groups as well as other schools statewide. Atrisco is not outperforming its district overall, and its profile is closest to West Mesa and Rio Grande in test scores, though its graduation rate is stronger. Families should weigh the strong graduation rate against the severe math-proficiency weakness and broad subgroup underperformance.
