Summary:

ZIP code 87107 in Albuquerque, New Mexico contains 15 schools serving about 4,133 students across elementary, middle, and high school grades, with most campuses operated by Albuquerque Public Schools — a district ranked 55th of 87 in New Mexico — while The Montessori Academy runs its own district, ranked 21st of 87. For context, state all-grades proficiency is 43.34% in Language Arts, 25.54% in Mathematics, and 33.4% in Science, with an 80.6% state graduation rate versus 75.6% for APS.

The ZIP's strongest results cluster in a few schools. Alvarado Elementary is the top-ranked elementary here (63rd of 346, 4 stars), with 71.09% Language Arts, 32.03% Math, and 62.86% 5th-grade Science — despite 100% free/reduced lunch. The Montessori Academy (70th of 346, 4 stars) posts 63.96% Language Arts, 36.04% Math, and 53.12% Science. Digital Arts And Technology Academy is the high-school standout (33rd of 132, 4 stars, 84.8% graduation), though its Math is only 14.41% and SAT Math is reported as under 20%. Mountain Mahogany Community School (3 stars) and Griegos Elementary (3 stars, down from 4) also beat state averages.

Elsewhere, results lag. Garfield Middle sits in the 10th percentile (1 star) with 24.49% Language Arts and 13.99% Math; Cochiti Elementary, Los Ranchos Elementary, and MacArthur Elementary also fall below state averages, and Valley High — the largest school at 962 students — is below district and state levels. Test scores are suppressed for Gordon Bernell Charter and Archer Academy Of Accelerated Learning, meaning proficiency is unknown, not zero. Foothill High School and Sequoyah serve specialized populations with very small enrollments and no current academic data, so they aren't comparable to comprehensive high schools.
