The 87059 zip code area is home to two schools - A. Montoya Elementary and Roosevelt Middle, both part of the Albuquerque school district. Based on the available data, Roosevelt Middle stands out as the top performer in the area, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in New Mexico.

Roosevelt Middle has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 22nd out of 235 middle schools statewide. Its students significantly outperform the Albuquerque and New Mexico averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Over the past three years, Roosevelt Middle's proficiency rates have been in the top 12% of all New Mexico middle schools. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients and a more favorable student-teacher ratio compared to A. Montoya Elementary, suggesting a more advantaged student population and greater individualized attention.

While A. Montoya Elementary is a respectable school with above-average test scores, it does not reach the same level of excellence as Roosevelt Middle. The elementary school's proficiency rates, though above the state and district averages, do not match the middle school's exceptional performance. Furthermore, A. Montoya Elementary has a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients and a less favorable student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its relatively weaker academic outcomes compared to Roosevelt Middle.
