Summary

The New Mexico International School is a K–8 school serving 432 students in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is part of Albuquerque Public Schools, a district that ranks 55th of 87 statewide. Despite that middling district standing, the school itself is a standout: in 2025–2026 it ranked 20th of 346 elementary schools in New Mexico (94th percentile, 5 stars). Its record is sustained — 5 stars in 2021–2022, 2022–2023, 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026.

On 2025–2026 all-grade NM Combined exams, students posted 81.35% proficient in Language Arts, 55.16% in math, and 69.86% in science — roughly 30 to 38 points above both the district (43.55% LA, 25.74% math, 33.63% science) and the state (43.34% LA, 25.54% math, 33.4% science). Among nearby APS schools, only Desert Willow Family School, another K–8, matched or exceeded these results (83.6% LA, 74.6% math, 75.38% science). Osuna Elementary came next closest, followed by Comanche Elementary. Most other nearby schools scored far lower — for example, Arroyo Del Oso Elementary, Sombra Del Monte Elementary, and Inez Elementary.

Language Arts is the school's strongest subject: 4th grade reached 88.24% and 8th grade at least 90%. Math, though well above district and state averages, is the relative weak point, with 3rd grade at 38.98% and 8th grade at 47.83%. Subgroup results are encouraging — low-income students ranked in the 91st percentile, students with disabilities in the 73rd, and English language learners in the 70th (2023–2024) — though these trail the school's overall 94th percentile. Reported free/reduced lunch was 10.19% in 2024–2025, far below nearby schools (near 99–100%), but that figure has swung between 4.3% and 38.4% in prior years, so treat it cautiously. Its student–teacher ratio of 14.1 is higher than most nearby schools.
