Summary:

ZIP code 87120 contains exactly one public high school: Albuquerque Talent Development Charter, a charter school serving grades 9–12 with 119 students. It operates within Albuquerque Public Schools. Because this is a single-school ZIP code, there are no other local high schools to compare it with — the most useful benchmarks are the district and the state.

The school's most recent ranking, for 2022–23, placed it 150 out of 170 New Mexico high schools — the 12th percentile, with a 1-star rating. That is the weakest of the three years on record: in 2018–19 it ranked 138 of 181 (24th percentile) and in 2017–18 it ranked 148 of 182 (19th percentile). All three available years are 1-star. Its 2024–25 graduation rate is 64.7%, roughly 11 percentage points below the district's 75.6% and 16 points below the state's 80.6%. For context, the district itself ranks 55 of 87 districts, or the 37th percentile, with 2 stars.

Every reported school test score is under 20%, including language arts, mathematics, science, SAT ELA, and SAT math, at both the all-grades and 11th-grade levels, so exact proficiency rates are not available. Where the district and state are above 20% — language arts, mathematics, science, and SAT ELA — the school sits clearly below them. For SAT math and 11th-grade mathematics, the district and state are also under 20%, so the school's relative standing cannot be determined. Most students come from higher-need backgrounds, with 83.19% eligible for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.2, implying roughly nine teachers. The data offers no attendance or college-going information, so this is a descriptive profile rather than a full picture of school quality.
