Albuquerque Talent Development Charter

Summary:

Albuquerque Talent Development Charter is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a student population of 135. 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.

Albuquerque Talent Development Charter has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 11% of students proficient or better in Language Arts and 23% in Science, compared to state averages of 38% and 34%, respectively. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's low statewide ranking, which has ranged from 119 to 178 out of New Mexico high schools over the past decade. The school serves a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (87.41%) and has a very high rate of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility (100%), indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

While Albuquerque Talent Development Charter has a lower student-teacher ratio than some of the nearby schools, such as Valley High and West Mesa High, its academic performance lags behind these schools, which have higher rankings and better test scores. This suggests that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's poor performance. However, the fluctuations in the school's ranking over the years indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement, and addressing the unique challenges faced by the school's student population could be a key focus for the school's leadership.

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.
