North Valley Academy

North Valley Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a total enrollment of 380 students. While the school's performance on state assessments has fluctuated in recent years, it currently ranks 198 out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In the 2023-2024 school year, North Valley Academy outperformed the state average in English Language Arts, with 41% of students proficient or better compared to the state average of 39%. However, the school's performance in Mathematics and Science was below the state average, with 21% and 33% of students proficient or better, respectively, compared to state averages of 25% and 36%. The previous school year saw lower performance across all subjects.

One positive factor for North Valley Academy is its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9, which suggests smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (57.63%), which may contribute to the challenges the school faces in maintaining consistent academic achievement.
