The top reported proficiency rate is 31% in English language arts. The lowest is 7% in Math.
Original Research by School Decision on Albuquerque Bilingual Academy
Albuquerque Bilingual Academy is a single-school charter district in New Mexico serving pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The name signals a bilingual mission, and the school draws a predominantly white enrollment with a sizable Hispanic minority and only a handful of students from other racial or ethnic backgrounds. The school is small for its grade band, with students spread fairly evenly across the pre-K-through-eighth continuum. No free-or-reduced-price-lunch figures, special-education counts, or English-learner rates were available in the data we received, so we cannot characterize the economic need or language-support profile from what is here. A parent may want to ask the school directly about those numbers.
State assessment results are available for grades three through eight from the most recent testing cycle. In English language arts, the proficiency rate lands in a range that suggests a decent share of students are meeting state benchmarks, with reading performance the school's strongest area. Science results are lower, with roughly one in five tested students reaching proficiency. Math is the clear soft spot, with only a small fraction of students scoring proficient or above. These are reported figures from the New Mexico state assessment system. A parent whose child attends, or is considering attending, may want to look into how the school supports math instruction and whether intervention strategies are in place.
Because the school does not serve high school grades, there is no graduation rate to report. That gap reflects the grade band, not a missing or weak result. No average scale scores or participation rates were reported in the data we received, so we cannot speak to those dimensions.
The district brief turned up no parent-relevant changes within the recent search window. The charter contract term runs through the mid-2020s and predates the window the brief examined, and no evidence of a renewal, curriculum shift, referendum, or other policy change was found in available sources. This means the school appears to be operating on a stable footing without recent disruptions that a family would need to weigh, though the absence of renewal information is something a parent could reasonably ask about as the contract term progresses.
No locale brief, community economic context, housing data, or neighbor comparison was provided for this entity, so we cannot describe the surrounding neighborhood, housing costs, or how the school sits relative to nearby districts. No program offerings, course-access details, staffing ratios, attendance data, or discipline information were available either. The data sections on the page carry what was reported, and these gaps are named here rather than filled with guesses.
What the picture does support is a reading of a small, stable bilingual charter serving elementary and middle grades, with reading as its relative strength, science in the middle, and math as the area where proficiency is lowest. Families drawn to a bilingual model in a small setting may find the school worth exploring, particularly if they are satisfied with the answers they get on math support and on the economic and language demographics the data did not capture.
