More than half of all Albuquerque Public Schools graduates earn college credits or get an industry certification or a bilingual endorsement on their diploma, indicating the district has met its goal.

At the end of the 2025-26 school year, 52.8% of students met this benchmark, surpassing APS鈥� goal of 49.6%. District officials noted a glaring achievement gap for students with disabilities 鈥� only 22% took a college-level course or earned a seal or certification.

鈥淲hile we should be proud that more students are leaving APS with credentials and experiences that prepare them for what comes next, our work now is to make sure that those opportunities reach all of our students across our district,鈥� Superintendent Gabriella Dur谩n Blakey said at Wednesday鈥檚 board meeting.

Associate Superintendent of High Schools Kenny Salazar said Wednesday that APS had achieved its college readiness targets by using an 鈥渋ntentional focus鈥� on scheduling and credit recovery options for students and through its 鈥淎cademies of Albuquerque鈥� program, in which students can pick a career pathway to follow during high school.

As part of its strategy for improvement, APS tracks student performance metrics including reading and math performance, high school graduation rates and 鈥渃ollege readiness鈥� 鈥� the number of students who pass two or more college courses in high school or earn a similar exceptional distinction.

The district met or surpassed its goals for elementary school reading but fell short in middle school math.

Disparities remain for many students of color, English language learners and students with disabilities, whose performance is lower than their peers鈥� almost across the board, in almost all subjects and benchmarks. 

For college readiness, Black students, Native American students and English language learners all fell short of the 49.6% benchmark by a range of roughly 5 to 10 percentage points.

Salazar said APS has been trying to close the gaps. In the case of students with disabilities, district officials said they would work with special education teachers to identify more students who might be ready for advanced coursework, and would work to make sure students with disabilities had adequate supports.

鈥淲e鈥檙e starting to tighten up some of these trainings and these structures to ensure that these students have those opportunities,鈥� he said.

Of the 52.8% of APS graduates who took advanced coursework or received a certification or seal, 35% of them passed two or more advanced placement, or AP classes; 0.8% passed two or more international baccalaureate, or IB classes; 9.4% passed two or more dual credit college classes; 11.2% earned a bilingual seal indicating proficiency in a second language; and 11.7% received an industry certification.

Certifications in food handling and workplace safety were far and away the most popular accreditations earned by APS high schoolers. 

While national measures of college readiness do not directly correlate with APS鈥� data, the indicates that 37% of public high school graduates in the U.S. took at least one AP exam, and 24.8% passed at least one exam. Students who take an AP class do not need to take the culminating exam, and students who take the exam do not need to have taken the course.

At APS, passage rates for AP tests are slightly lower than national data 鈥� 57.6% of APS students who took an AP exam in 2025 passed the test, according to . Nationally, AP exam that year ranged from 58.6% to 89.2% depending on subject.

New Mexico has the 13th-lowest rate of students who pass an AP test in the country 鈥� 15.2% of public high schoolers scored a 3 or higher on an AP exam during high school in 2025.
