Better than 2% of New Mexico high schools

Summary

Ecademy is an alternative public virtual high school located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,035 students. While 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, Ecademy faces significant challenges in terms of graduation rates, test scores, and serving its economically disadvantaged student population.

Ecademy has had declining 4-year graduation rates over the past few years, ranging from 78.0% in 2023-2024 to 58.3% in 2023-2024, which is significantly lower than the state average of 78.0% and the Albuquerque district average of 76.7% in 2022-2023. Additionally, Ecademy students consistently perform well below the state and district averages in proficiency on standardized tests, with only 16.76% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in NM-ASR/Science, compared to 41.1% in Albuquerque and 41.69% statewide. Ecademy also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 23.74% in 2022-2023 to 78.55% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Ecademy is an alternative school, it performs significantly worse than some of the other alternative schools in the area, such as Mission Achievement And Success 1.0 and Native American Community Academy, which have higher graduation rates and better test scores. This poor performance, particularly in test scores and graduation rates, may be indicative of the challenges faced by students in a virtual learning environment, and the high free and reduced lunch rates suggest that many students may lack the resources and support needed to succeed in a virtual setting. Ecademy could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, student support services, and overall approach to virtual learning to identify areas for improvement and better support its student population.
