Summary:
ZIP code 87111 in Albuquerque contains seven elementary schools, all part of Albuquerque Public Schools, most serving grades K–5 (with Hubert H Humphrey Elementary, Mitchell Elementary, and Sombra Del Monte Elementary also serving PK), together enrolling 2,765 students. Free or reduced-price lunch participation is essentially universal here, ranging from 99.01% to 100%. Despite sharing one district, these schools perform very differently.
Three schools stand out as among the best in New Mexico: Hubert H Humphrey Elementary (#5 of 346, 99th percentile, 5 stars), S. Y. Jackson Elementary (#10 of 346, 5 stars), and Georgia O'Keeffe Elementary (#12 of 346, 5 stars). All three have stayed in the top 12 statewide for three straight years. Their results are roughly double district and state averages — about 77% ELA and 65% math, versus roughly 44–45% ELA and 27–28% math district- and state-wide. Humphrey posts the strongest ELA (81.40) and 5th-grade science (78.21); O'Keeffe has the top math (65.91). Two more, John Baker Elementary (#40, 4 stars) and Osuna Elementary (#51, 4 stars), score above district and state averages.
The remaining two trail: Mitchell Elementary (#169 of 346, 3 stars) has ELA of 42.42 but math of 22.22, and Sombra Del Monte Elementary (#205, 2 stars) has math of 23.30 with science under 20%. Notably, Albuquerque Public Schools is rated just 2 stars and ranks 55 of 87 statewide — a district figure that hides the wide school-level variation in this ZIP. Student-teacher ratios (11.0 to 14.5) do not track with performance: Humphrey has the highest ratio (14.5) and the top rank, while Sombra Del Monte has the lowest (11.0) and the lowest results.
