Summary

Amy Biehl Charter High School is a small charter high school in Albuquerque, NM, serving grades 9–12 with 196 students, and it operates as its own district — Amy Biehl Charter High School — which ranks 10th of 87 districts statewide, well above the nearby Albuquerque Public Schools district (55th of 87). The school ranked 17th of 132 New Mexico high schools in 2025–26 (87th percentile, 4 stars) and has earned 4 stars in every year listed back to 2014–15.

Academically, the picture is uneven but strong overall. In 11th-grade English language arts, 61.9% of students were proficient, well above the state's 36.78%, and science proficiency was 64.29% against a state figure of 34.02%. Math is the clear weak spot: both 11th-grade math and all-grades math are under 20%, and all-grades math falls below the state's 25.54%. The graduation rate was 75.6% in 2024–25, below the state's 80.6%, but it has climbed steadily from 66.4% in 2022–23, narrowing the gap to the state from about 10 points to 5.

The school is small, with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.9, and its reported free/reduced-lunch rate reached 100% in 2024–25 (up from 44.34% the year before, which may reflect a reporting change). Its effectiveness rankings for low-income and special education students are very high — often in the top 10–15% statewide. Locally, Early College Academy and College And Career High School rank higher statewide with stronger math proficiency and roughly 90% graduation rates, though College & Career reports a much lower free/reduced-lunch rate (25.71%). Amy Biehl posts much higher ELA and science proficiency than Albuquerque High (44.81% and 41.64%), which has slightly higher math and graduation figures.

What people are saying

by a student
Wednesday, April 9, 2014

I love this school due to the fact the teachers and staff try to make connections with you, as well as get to know you on a higher level than they could in a big public school. Also, everyone is nice, and it's easy to pass as long as you are motivated to do so, and try. They give you many opportunities to succeed when most schools can't provide such opportunities.
