Summary:

ZIP code 87112 in Albuquerque's northeast heights contains 14 schools — seven elementary, three middle, two high schools, and two alternative campuses — serving 5,582 students, with 11 operated by Albuquerque Public Schools and three run by independent charter operators.

The ZIP is split into two very different groups. The 11 APS campuses average roughly 93% free/reduced lunch, with 10 of 11 at 95% or higher, while the three charters average about 49%. Nearly every school beating state averages in reading and math is a charter — or one remarkable district elementary: Onate Elementary, where 99.67% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch yet 66.01% met language arts standards and 52.29% met math standards, both far above the state (43.34% and 25.54%), with top-decile state rankings three years running. Also strong are Abq School Of Excellence (68.21% ELA, 51.43% math, 88.9% graduation) and Public Academy For Performing Arts (94% graduation, the ZIP's highest). At the other end, McCollum Elementary posts 24.47% ELA and math under 10%.

Mathematics is the ZIP-wide weak spot, especially in middle school: Jackson Middle (16.52%), Grant Middle (21.69%), and Renaissance Academy Charter School (21.05%) all trail the state. Eighth-grade math drops sharply at several campuses, while Matheson Park Elementary is one of the few schools clearly improving. The smallest class sizes belong to the weakest performers, and small schools have the most state-suppressed data. Manzano High, the largest campus at 1,157 students, graduates 67.6% and posts 9.09% math proficiency.
