Summary

Albuquerque Bilingual Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 408 students in grades PK-8 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The school is located in the Albuquerque Bilingual Academy District, which is ranked 80 out of 82 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past decade, Albuquerque Bilingual Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools, with a current ranking of 288 out of 345 schools and a 1-star rating.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 29.27% compared to the state average of 44.19%, and its Math proficiency rate was only 6.37% compared to 26.81% statewide. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students performing relatively well compared to their peers statewide, while White and Low Socioeconomic Status students struggle, ranking in the bottom quarter of New Mexico elementary schools.

Despite the school's challenges, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.5 to 15.1 students per teacher in recent years, which is lower than the nearby Albuquerque district schools. When compared to other nearby schools, Albuquerque Bilingual Academy generally underperforms in academic proficiency rates, with the exception of Montessori of the Rio Grande, a high-performing charter school. The school's extremely high free/reduced lunch rate, over 99% in recent years, indicates a student population that faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's overall academic struggles.
