Summary:
The 87123 zip code area of Albuquerque, New Mexico is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. This high-poverty area faces significant challenges, with all schools serving a student population that qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. While the elementary schools generally perform better than the secondary schools, the overall academic performance across the schools lags behind the Albuquerque and New Mexico averages.
Manzano Mesa Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and test scores above the district and state averages. In contrast, Hawthorne Elementary has the lowest ratings (1 star) and significantly underperforms on test scores, but benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 9.0. The two charter high schools, Technology Leadership High School and Gilbert L Sena Charter High School, have the poorest performance metrics, with 0-1 star ratings and test scores well below the state and district averages.
The data suggests that targeted interventions and a closer examination of resource allocation and school management practices may be necessary to address the significant performance gaps and improve educational outcomes for students in this high-poverty community. While the elementary schools show some promise, the secondary schools in the 87123 zip code area face substantial challenges that require further investigation and support.
