Technology Leadership High School

Summary:

Technology Leadership High School is a public charter high school serving 310 students in grades 9-12 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is part of the Albuquerque school district. Unfortunately, this school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of high schools in the state, with extremely low test scores and graduation rates that are well below the state and district averages.

Specifically, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7% of students at Technology Leadership High School were proficient or better in science, compared to 36% statewide and 35% in Albuquerque. Similarly, only 11% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34% statewide and 36% in Albuquerque. The school's four-year graduation rate was just 58% in 2022-2023, far below the state average of 76.7%. These poor academic outcomes are consistent across various student subgroups, including male students, white students, and low socioeconomic status students.

When comparing Technology Leadership High School to other nearby high schools in the Albuquerque district, such as Sandia High, which ranks 41st out of 190 high schools in the state, the performance gap is stark. This raises concerns about educational equity and the ability of Technology Leadership High School to provide a high-quality education to its student population, which is 100% from low-income families.

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.
