Summary

Tres Volcanes Community Collaborative School is a K–8 school at 9601 Tierra Pintada NW in northwest Albuquerque, part of Albuquerque Public Schools, serving 865 students — the largest school in its immediate neighborhood group and roughly 60% bigger than the next-largest nearby campus.

Academically, Tres Volcanes sits just below its district and the state in reading (ELA), math and science, but it is the strongest of the eight same-district schools nearby on all three. It earns 2 stars, ranking 202nd of 346 New Mexico schools (42nd percentile) in 2025-26 — slightly better than its own district's 37th-percentile position. Every APS neighbor — including Edward Gonzales Elementary, Christine Duncan Heritage Academy, Chaparral Elementary and Painted Sky Elementary — also earns 2 stars and scores below Tres Volcanes in both reading and math. Science is the clearest gap: 27.0% schoolwide versus 33.6% district and 33.4% state. Fifth-grade science (31.4%) is right at benchmark, but eighth grade (23.7%) is about 10 points below.

The school's K–8 structure tells two stories. Grades 3 and 4 are genuine strengths in math, above both district and state, and grades 3 and 5 are above the state in reading. Grades 6–8 lag badly: seventh-grade math is nearly 10 points below state, and sixth-grade reading is the weakest single result. In 2025-26 reading fell 6.1 points and science 6.9 points in one year, ending a run of 3-star years, while math stayed flat. For special education students, the school ranks 156th of 158 (1st percentile, 0 stars) — a consistent, bottom-of-state finding. About two miles away, the charter Horizon Academy West (5 stars) posts 63.2% reading and 60.0% math, roughly 21 and 35 points ahead. Nearly all students here (99.42%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

I enrolled my daughter last year, she had wonderful experience. My daughter entered her 6th grade year at TVCCS, she has a disability and the teachers and students were always very patient when it came to her education. She usually has a hard time making friends but as soon as she went in, she became a social butterfly. I highly recommend this school. Close Quote
