Albuquerque Bilingual Academy

Summary:

Albuquerque Bilingual Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with 379 students and a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 99.21% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Academically, Albuquerque Bilingual Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Mexico elementary schools, with proficiency rates below the state average in English Language Arts (38% vs. 39%) and Mathematics (17% vs. 25%) for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school stands out in its early literacy performance, with 50.5% of students proficient or better in the 2021-2022 school year, significantly higher than the state average of 32.6%. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates are above the state average, at 35% compared to 36% statewide in 2023-2024. Compared to nearby public schools like Reginald Chavez Elementary and Lavaland Elementary, Albuquerque Bilingual Academy generally performs better, but it lags behind higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Montessori of the Rio Grande and Horizon Academy West.

Albuquerque Bilingual Academy's high-poverty student population, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, is a common characteristic among the nearby schools as well. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.5 is higher than some of the nearby schools, which may impact its ability to provide individualized attention to students. Overall, Albuquerque Bilingual Academy faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in core subject areas, but stands out in its early literacy and science proficiency.

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.
