Summary

Horizon Academy West is a PK–5 elementary school serving 495 students on Todos Santos NW in Albuquerque's 87120 corridor, and it operates as its own single-school district — so every district-level number is also the school's own number.

By the numbers, Horizon ranks 8 of 87 New Mexico districts (5 stars) and 38 of 346 schools statewide in 2025-26 — the 89th percentile, its best showing in the ten-year record, up from the 44th–49th percentile band a decade ago. In 2025-26, 63.18% of students were proficient in English language arts and 60% in math, against statewide rates of 43.34% and 25.54%; fifth-grade science came in at 45.45% versus 31.97% statewide. About 36.45% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-24 (the 2024-25 figure is not reported), and the student-teacher ratio is 17:1.

What stands out most is math. Horizon's 60% math proficiency is the highest among the nearby schools compared here — 12 points above Montessori Of The Rio Grande and roughly triple the 16.75% typical of neighbors such as Chaparral Elementary and Painted Sky Elementary. Statewide, ELA proficiency outruns math by about 18 points, but at Horizon the gap is only about 3 points, a balance almost no neighbor shares. The school is one of only two nearby schools in the state's top decile; every other comparison school, most of them part of Albuquerque Public Schools (ranked 55 of 87), lands in the bottom half. Horizon's students from low-income families rank 9 of 256 schools (96th percentile, 5 stars), its strongest subgroup result, and achievement is steady across third through fifth grade. Science is the relative soft spot, and Horizon posts the largest classes of the group at 17:1 — yet still outperforms.
