Summary:
The 87107 zip code area of Albuquerque, New Mexico is home to 18 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including a mix of traditional public schools, public charter schools, and an alternative school. While the schools serve predominantly Hispanic student populations, with high rates of economic disadvantage, the data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance across the schools in this area.
The top-performing schools in the 87107 area are Montessori Elementary School, which ranks 63rd out of 435 New Mexico elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, and Alvarado Elementary, which ranks 58th and also has a 4-star rating. These schools boast strong proficiency rates in core subjects, well above the state averages. Another high-performing school is Mountain Mahogany Community School, a public charter elementary/middle school that ranks 125th out of 435 elementary schools with a 4-star rating.
In contrast, some schools in the 87107 area struggle, with only 9-22% of students proficient in core subjects. This includes schools like Los Ranchos Elementary and Garfield Middle. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 51% to 100% across the schools, suggest that many of these institutions serve economically disadvantaged communities, which can present additional challenges. Understanding the practices and strategies of the top-performing schools could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes in the lower-performing schools and ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students in the 87107 area.
