Summary

Cien Aguas International is a public charter elementary school serving 419 students in grades K-8 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, outperforming the Albuquerque and New Mexico averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grades. However, the school's mathematics and science proficiency rates lag behind the district and state averages.

Cien Aguas International's strengths lie in the performance of its female and Hispanic students, who rank well among their peers in New Mexico. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education students have struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile of New Mexico elementary schools. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Cien Aguas International, with 80.91% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the challenges faced by these vulnerable student groups.

When compared to nearby schools in the Albuquerque district, Cien Aguas International generally outperforms the lower-ranked schools, such as Eugene Field Elementary and Whittier Elementary, in both ELA and mathematics proficiency. However, it lags behind the higher-performing schools, like Bandelier Elementary and Coral Community Charter, in several key metrics.
