Bernalillo Elementary's ELA proficiency rate is 28.82%, compared to the state average of 44.19%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate is 12.68%, compared to the state average of 26.81%.

The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11:1 to 12.1:1, may not be enough to overcome the significant academic challenges faced by the student population. Targeted interventions and additional support may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Bernalillo Elementary.
