Summary

Abq School Of Excellence is an alternative K–12 school in Albuquerque, NM serving 1,005 students, and it operates as its own district, so its district figures simply mirror the school rather than providing a separate benchmark. Its results are strong across the board: the 2024–25 graduation rate is 88.9% versus 80.6% statewide, and 2025–26 all-grade proficiency on NM Combined is Language Arts 68.21%, Mathematics 51.43%, and Science 59.48%, compared with state levels of 43.34%, 25.54%, and 33.40%. About 56.92% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, and the student/teacher ratio was 16.3.

Compared with nearby schools that reported 2025–26 all-grade NM Combined scores, Abq School Of Excellence has the highest Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency; only Explore Academy edges it out in Science, at 63.95% versus 59.48%. Its Language Arts score is roughly 16 points above the nearby median, and its Math score about 23.5 points above. Graduation is also near the top of the local group: Explore Academy 91.5%, Abq School Of Excellence 88.9%, Mission Achievement And Success 1.0 88.5%, Eldorado High 83.1%, the Albuquerque Public Schools district 75.6%, and Manzano High 67.6% — the closest school at just 0.7 miles away.

The performance is broad-based. In every reported grade and subject in 2025–26, proficiency exceeds the state figure, with 11th grade particularly notable: SAT School Day ELA 77.36% versus 37.07% statewide, SAT Math 64.15% versus 12.53%, and 11th-grade Science 78.85% versus 34.27%. Graduation has climbed from 72.9% in 2020–21, when it trailed the state, to 88.9% in 2024–25. All-grade math eased from 54.41% in 2024–25 to 50.35% on NM-MSSA in 2025–26 while remaining far above state, so it is worth watching. Note that some nearby schools have suppressed results — treat those as unknown.
