Summary

North Valley Academy is a PK–8 school serving 280 students in Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, New Mexico, and it operates as its own single-school district — so every district-level figure reported for North Valley Academy is actually the school's own number, with no larger Albuquerque Public Schools-style district benchmark behind it.

Statewide, North Valley Academy has sat in the middle for a decade, most recently at the 40th percentile with 2 stars among New Mexico elementary schools, down from the 58th percentile two years earlier. Scores sit just below the state average in English language arts (40.14% vs. 44.66%) and math (23.13% vs. 27.85%), with science the largest gap: 24.49% against the state's 33.62%, and last among the eight nearby schools reporting 5th grade science. Grade-level results are uneven — 3rd grade is a real bright spot at 68.00% in ELA and 52.00% in math, the highest of any nearby school reporting, but those advantages fade by 4th and 5th grade. Grades 6–8 results are suppressed by the state, so they are unknown rather than weak.

One notable strength: the school's low-income students ranked at the 85th percentile with 4 stars in 2025-26, its strongest relative result, though that figure has swung from the 48th to the 68th to the 85th percentile over three years. Staffing also shifted, with the student–teacher ratio jumping from 8.8 to 14.1 in a single year, among the higher ratios in the area. Compared with neighbors, North Valley Academy lands near the middle of its immediate area — comfortably ahead of Los Ranchos Elementary just 0.29 miles away, but behind Alvarado Elementary, The Montessori Academy, and Petroglyph Elementary.
