Summary:

The 87118 zip code has only one school, Kirtland Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 164 students. Kirtland Elementary is part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in New Mexico and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kirtland Elementary appears to be a struggling school, with declining statewide rankings, low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25%) and Mathematics (10%) that are significantly lower than the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages. The school has a very high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.6 to 1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.

Overall, the data suggests that Kirtland Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by its students. Further investigation into the school's specific programs, teaching practices, and resource allocation may provide more insights into how to improve student performance and overall school quality.
