Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87004

Summary:

The 87004 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, one school stands out as a high performer - Placitas Elementary.

Placitas Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in New Mexico, with a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, with 58%, 39%, and 61% proficiency rates, respectively. In contrast, Wd Carroll Elementary appears to be the lowest-performing school in the area, ranking 411 out of 433 elementary schools in the state and scoring well below the district and state averages in ELA and Math proficiency.

The remaining schools in the 87004 zip code area, including Bernalillo High, Spartan Learning Academy, and Bernalillo Elementary, also struggle, with low proficiency rates and poor statewide rankings. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes in the Bernalillo school district.
