The top reported proficiency rate is 54% in English language arts. The lowest is 33% in Math.
Original Research by School Decision on Mission Achievement and Success 2.0
Mission Achievement and Success 2.0 sits on Old Coors Road in Albuquerque's southwest quadrant, part of a charter network that has grown from a single campus into a two-site operation serving the metro area. This campus currently spans prekindergarten through ninth grade and is working toward a full prekindergarten-through-twelfth-grade pathway, which gives families a continuous academic home as the school adds upper grades over time. The charter contract runs through the current term, giving enrolled families a stretch of operational stability. The original campus remains on Yale Boulevard in the southeast quadrant, so families choosing between the two sites are picking geography and convenience more than philosophy, since both operate under the same charter.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, reflecting the surrounding neighborhood's character, and virtually every enrolled student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. The school serves a substantial population across its grade bands, with enrollment distributed fairly evenly from kindergarten through eighth grade and smaller cohorts in prekindergarten and ninth grade, the bookend grades of a still-growing program. Data on English learners and students with individualized education programs was not available, so families whose children need those services should ask the school directly about what is in place.
On state assessments, the most recent results paint a mixed but encouraging picture. English language arts stands out as the school's clear strength, with a solid majority of tested students reaching proficiency, a result that sits well above what high-poverty schools typically post. Science results land in the middle range, with a respectable share of students demonstrating proficiency. Math is the softer area, with fewer than half of tested students reaching proficiency, and a parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand how math instruction is structured and what support is available. Only one year of data is reported, so there is no trend yet to show whether these results are improving, holding, or fluctuating. Average scale scores were not available, and participation rates were not reported.
Because the school does not yet serve a full high school grade range, there is no graduation rate to report. That gap reflects the school's growth stage rather than any performance shortcoming. As the campus adds tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades in coming years, those measures will become relevant.
The surrounding area is part of Albuquerque's west side, a sprawling, car-oriented stretch of the city bordered by the West Mesa and Petroglyph National Monument to the west and the Rio Grande bosque running north-south through the city's center. The neighborhood is more suburban arterial than walkable urban core, with commercial strips along the main roads and residential blocks set back from them. Housing values in the school's zip code run below both the state and national benchmarks, making this one of the more affordable parts of the metro for families looking to buy. Rents are likewise modest relative to broader Albuquerque. The city itself has been roughly flat in population, with slight decline recently, while the metro area has continued to grow modestly. Albuquerque's economy rests on federal installations like Sandia National Laboratories and Kirtland Air Force Base, the University of New Mexico, healthcare systems, and a growing film and media sector, so the labor market for parents spans defense, public sector, university, and creative-industry work.
MAS 2.0 does not have reported data on course access, staffing ratios, attendance, discipline, or specific program offerings, so a parent evaluating fit should visit and ask about those dimensions directly. What the available evidence does show is a charter school anchored in a predominantly Hispanic, economically disadvantaged community, producing strong reading results, middling science outcomes, and weaker math results, all while building toward a full secondary program on the southwest side of a city where housing remains relatively affordable. For a family living nearby who wants a charter option with a continuous grade pathway and a mission framed around achievement, this is a school worth visiting and asking hard questions about math support and services for special populations.
