GARFIELD MIDDLE SCHOOL

GARFIELD MIDDLE is a Title I public middle school that is part of the ALBUQUERQUE school district, located in ALBUQUERQUE, NM with about 386 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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 28 teachers, GARFIELD MIDDLE has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

GARFIELD MIDDLE School, located in the North Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico, serves as a community-focused public school within the Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) district. The school is situated on Sixth Street NW and functions as a neighborhood hub for students transitioning through their middle school years. As part of a large urban district, the school works to balance core academic requirements with the social-emotional development typical of the middle-grades experience.

The school’s digital presence highlights its role within the APS network, providing families with access to essential administrative resources, calendar updates, and instructional information. While GARFIELD MIDDLE School operates within the broader standards and curriculum frameworks established by the state and the school district, its specific identity is rooted in its North Valley location, where it strives to engage students through a combination of traditional classroom instruction and supportive extracurricular activities designed to prepare them for success in high school.
