ALVARADO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

ALVARADO ELEMENTARY is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the ALBUQUERQUE school district, located in ALBUQUERQUE, NM with about 295 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, ALVARADO ELEMENTARY has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

ALVARADO ELEMENTARY School is located in the North Valley area of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and serves as a local campus within the Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) district. The school is committed to providing a foundational education for elementary-aged students, focusing on academic development, social-emotional learning, and community engagement. As part of the state’s largest school district, Alvarado benefits from the resources and administrative support provided by APS while maintaining its own unique community identity centered on its North Valley neighborhood.

The school’s mission emphasizes fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where students are encouraged to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. By integrating standard curriculum requirements with programs designed to meet the diverse needs of its student population, ALVARADO ELEMENTARY strives to prepare its children for middle school success. Families and community members often play an active role in the school's culture, contributing to the collaborative atmosphere that defines this long-standing APS institution.
