Summary:
The 87004 zip code area is home to two middle schools: Bernalillo Elementary and Spartan Learning Academy. Both schools serve predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations, as evidenced by their extremely high free/reduced lunch rates of over 95%.
Academically, neither school stands out as a high performer. Bernalillo Elementary has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the Bernalillo district and state averages across all grade levels. Spartan Learning Academy performs slightly better in English Language Arts, but its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are still well below the state average. Both schools face challenges in providing quality education to their students.
The low student-teacher ratios at these schools, 12.1 at Bernalillo Elementary and 8.1 at Spartan Learning Academy, suggest that resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning, despite the high-poverty student populations. Targeted interventions and support will be crucial in addressing the significant academic gaps at these middle schools, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and Science.
