Summary:
The 87107 zip code area of Albuquerque, New Mexico is home to 16 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 6 high schools. The data reveals a diverse educational landscape, with stark contrasts in school performance within the same geographic area.
Some standout schools in the 87107 zip code include Montessori Elementary School, which ranks 51st out of 433 New Mexico elementary schools and earns 4 out of 5 stars, as well as Alvarado Elementary and Griegos Elementary, which also rank highly and earn 4 out of 5 stars. These top-performing schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state and district averages. In contrast, some schools like Los Ranchos Elementary, Garfield Middle, and Cochiti Elementary are struggling, with very low test scores and rankings.
The data also reveals that many of the schools in the 87107 zip code serve a high-poverty population, with several schools having 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage likely contributes to the lower academic performance observed at some of the schools. However, the presence of high-performing public charter schools like Montessori Elementary and Mountain Mahogany Community School suggests that there is potential for improvement and that school choice may play a role in providing quality educational opportunities for families in the area.
