Tierra Adentro

Summary:

Tierra Adentro is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with 243 students. The school is part of the Tierra Adentro district, which is ranked 66 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tierra Adentro has shown strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science, with 40% and 44% of students proficient or better, respectively, compared to the state averages of 39% and 36%. However, the school lags behind the state average in Mathematics, with only 15% of students proficient or better compared to 25% statewide. Tierra Adentro has also maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 71.6% to 76.8% over the past few years, on par with nearby public high schools like Valley High (76.7%) and Albuquerque High (76.7%).

While Tierra Adentro serves a high-need population, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate area. Early College Academy, a public high school located just 1.72 miles away, consistently ranks among the top 2-6 high schools in the state and outperforms Tierra Adentro across multiple academic measures. Additionally, Tierra Adentro's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 43rd out of 185 high schools in 2015-2016 to 93rd out of 190 high schools in the most recent 2023-2024 school year, suggesting the school may be losing ground relative to others in the state.

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.
