GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am an alumni of AIMS and I rather enjoyed my time at the school. It's definitely helped me be ready to handle anything UNM has thrown at me

Last year we all got LOCKED outside the building in the freezing cold because there was a WANTED SUSPECT and the teachers and staff felt safe inside and left the kids outside. One teacher BODY-SHAMES and VERBALLY ABUSES students. The curriculum is vigorous, and the teachers don't teach, they assign reading. Everything is online. Many students don't feel safe, and a large majority are depressed because or relating to this school.

This school is great academic in college readiness, but when it comes to mental health, there are some students have issues from before they came. These issues seem to get worse at this school effecting their friends, and their friend's friends. The work load is very draining, and its hard to focus under those conditions. Students find other ways to make due in their situations.

The reason they score so well and have such a high ranking is because they make the course work and material so hard that only those who are extremely exceptionally smart can stay without failing their classes. The principal does not care about the s...

I have a very bright and hard working student. The time he spent at AIMS was the worst of his academic years. I feel compelled to share my experience. Although there academic program is good they allow bad behavior and bulling to flourish unchecked. They have a practice of disciplining all students...

This school is no longer an APS (Albuquerque Public School). The school council has re-chartered as a State Charter school and has no affiliation with APS any longer. It is a free public school.
