The school is part of the Albuquerque Public Schools district, which is ranked 78 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Truman Middle has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 93.89% of students identifying as Hispanic in the 2022-2023 school year.

Truman Middle consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates for Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with only 24% proficiency in Language Arts, 9% in Mathematics, and 21% in Science, compared to the state averages of 38%, 24%, and 34%, respectively. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Mexico middle schools, with a ranking of 205 out of 239 schools in the 2022-2023 school year, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Truman Middle's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and special education students, who are consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Mexico middle schools.

Truman Middle's performance is generally lower than the nearby middle schools in the Albuquerque Public Schools district, such as Garfield Middle, Washington Middle, and Polk Middle, which also struggle academically but perform slightly better than Truman Middle. The high percentage of students from low-income households, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced-lunch rate, is likely a significant factor contributing to Truman Middle's academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
