Summary

Solare Collegiate Charter School is a K–8 charter school with about 314 students in Albuquerque's South Valley, operating as its own charter district; in 2025–2026 it ranked 306th of 346 New Mexico schools — the 12th percentile, or 1 star — while its district placed 79th of 87 (9th percentile, 1 star).

Nearly all Solare students are economically disadvantaged — 100% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — and the student-teacher ratio was 10.7 in 2024–2025. On 2025–2026 all-grade tests, 30.61% of students were proficient in language arts versus 43.34% statewide, 25.00% in math versus 25.54%, and 32.67% in science versus 33.40%. Compared with nearby high-poverty Albuquerque Public Schools elementaries, Solare's math is the highest among those listed neighbors and its science is above those reporting all-grade science, while its language arts trails Dolores Gonzales Elementary (46.81%). Two nearby charters serving similarly low-income students score much higher: Albuquerque Collegiate Charter School (60.61 language arts, 36.36 math) and Mission Achievement And Success 2.0 (67.55 language arts, 39.86 math, 60.49 science).

The most striking trend is a decline from 2024–2025, when Solare scored 41.18 in language arts, 31.52 in math, and 38.39 in science — drops of roughly 10.6, 6.3, and 5.7 points. Language arts is below state in every reported grade, with the widest gap in 6th grade (20.63 vs. 39.14). Math is uneven: 7th grade (33.72 vs. 27.10 state) and 8th grade (35.71 vs. 20.50) are above state, but 6th grade (15.87 vs. 32.13) and 5th grade (under 20% vs. 33.97) lag well behind. Science is close to state. Subgroup rankings, including for low-income students, are all low.
