Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87118

Summary:

The 87118 zip code in New Mexico has only one school, Kirtland Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 164 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (61.59%), with significant representation from White (18.9%), Native American (7.93%), and African American (4.27%) students. However, Kirtland Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state average, with only 16% of students proficient or better in Language Arts and 11% in Mathematics, ranking the school in the bottom quartile of New Mexico elementary schools.

Kirtland Elementary's high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients, with 100% of students qualifying for this program, indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and the need for additional support and resources. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.6 to 1 could be a positive factor, but it does not seem to be translating into improved academic performance, suggesting the need for a deeper examination of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems.

Overall, the analysis of Kirtland Elementary reveals significant academic underperformance, high rates of socioeconomic disadvantage, and potential equity concerns. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by this school and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Albuquerque Public Schools district.
