Summary:
ZIP code 87111 in Albuquerque includes 11 schools — seven elementary, three middle, and one alternative campus — serving about 6,020 students, all within Albuquerque Public Schools, a district ranked 55th of 87 in New Mexico (37th percentile, 2 stars).
Despite the district's modest ranking, several 87111 schools are among the state's strongest. Hubert H Humphrey Elementary ranks 5th of 346 elementary schools (99th percentile, 5 stars), with 81.4% language arts and 78.21% 5th-grade science proficiency. S. Y. Jackson Elementary is 10th of 346 and Georgia O'Keeffe Elementary 12th of 346 — both 97th percentile with 5 stars; O'Keeffe posts the ZIP's highest math score at 65.91%. Eisenhower Middle ranks 14th of 191 (93rd percentile, 5 stars). Osuna Elementary, John Baker Elementary, and Hoover Middle are solid 4-star schools above district and state averages. Madison Middle, Mitchell Elementary, and Sombra Del Monte Elementary rank lower, though Madison and Mitchell show some grade-level strengths. Eldorado High, the largest campus, is classified as alternative; its 2024-25 graduation rate of 83.1% beats the district's 75.6% and the state's 80.6%, and its SAT language arts (56.25%) and math (25.57%) far exceed district and state figures.
Across the ZIP, language arts proficiency runs about 17 percentage points above math, and science generally falls between the two — Sombra Del Monte is the exception, with science reported as under 20%. Nearly every student is economically disadvantaged by the free/reduced lunch measure (99.01% to 100%), showing high poverty does not automatically mean low achievement. Notably, the lowest student-teacher ratios (Sombra at 11.0, Mitchell at 11.1) belong to the lowest-performing schools, while top-ranked Humphrey has a higher ratio of 14.5. Math is the clearest area for support.
