Summary:
The 87108 zip code area of Albuquerque, New Mexico is home to 12 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a wide range of performance among these schools, with some standouts like Coral Community Charter and Zia Elementary performing well above state and district averages, while others like La Mesa Elementary and Wilson Middle are struggling.
The high schools in the area, including Highland High, New Mexico Academy For The Media Arts, and Cesar Chavez Community School, all have a 76.7% four-year graduation rate. However, the schools generally have lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science compared to state and Albuquerque district averages.
The data also reveals that most of the schools in the 87108 zip code have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This suggests the area faces significant challenges in terms of student achievement and resource availability. Despite these challenges, the strong performance of the two charter schools, Coral Community Charter and New Mexico Academy For The Media Arts, indicates that targeted interventions and alternative school models may be able to achieve better outcomes in this high-poverty area.
