Health Leadership High School

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Health Leadership High School is a public charter high school located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 216 students. The school is part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Health Leadership High School has faced significant challenges, particularly in terms of academic performance and student demographics. The school ranked 166 out of 190 New Mexico high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, though this represents an improvement from its previous ranking of 179 out of 181 high schools and 0-star rating in 2018-2019. Male students at the school have performed better than female students, and special education students have also performed relatively well, but low socioeconomic status students have struggled. The school's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 36.2% to 76.7% in recent years, and its proficiency rates in science and English language arts are significantly lower than the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as New Mexico Academy For The Media Arts and Amy Biehl Charter High School, which have significantly higher statewide rankings and test scores, Health Leadership High School performs relatively poorly. However, it does perform better than some other nearby schools, such as Cesar Chavez Community School, which has a lower statewide ranking and test scores. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Health Leadership High School, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate, likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance, but the recent improvements in statewide ranking and rating suggest that there may be opportunities for further progress.
