Summary

New Mexico Academy For The Media Arts is a small public school in Albuquerque, NM, serving grades 6–12 with 109 students, and it operates as its own district, so its district-level numbers match the school's. Its most recent statewide rank is 2024–2025: 42 of 131, which is the 68th percentile with 3 stars. Over the past decade it has generally ranked above the state median, mostly at 3–4 stars and between the 56th and 84th percentile, though the latest result is below its 2017–2018 peak of the 84th percentile.

The academic picture is mixed. English language arts and science are relative strengths: in 2025–2026 all-grade results, ELA was 49.18% combined (48.94% NM-MSSA) against the state's 43.34% (44.66% NM-MSSA), and science was 52.78% combined (54.29% NM-ASR) against roughly 33–34% statewide. Eleventh-grade science was even higher, at 57.14% combined and 61.54% NM-ASR. Mathematics is the clear instructional gap, at 14.75% combined and 17.02% NM-MSSA, roughly 10–11 points below the state in every recent year with data; grade-level math results and SAT School Day results are suppressed, so those comparisons are unknown. Graduation rate is the other major concern, falling from 76.5% in 2022–2023 to 68.8% in 2023–2024 and 64.4% in 2024–2025, which is 16.2 points below the state's 80.6%.

Compared with nearby schools, the school's 68th percentile rank is higher than Highland High (28th), Ecademy, Cesar Chavez Community School, Freedom High, and New Futures High School, but below College And Career High School (91st percentile, 90.1% graduation). Voz Collegiate Preparatory Charter School shows stronger all-grade math with similar ELA. Notably, 28.44% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch here, versus 95–100% at many Albuquerque Public Schools campuses, and enrollment is far smaller, which matters when reading these numbers. Effectiveness rankings for students from low-income backgrounds have varied widely, from the 96th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 46th percentile in 2022–2023, and limited data make firm conclusions difficult.
