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.

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.

The Albuquerque Institute of Math and Science is a great school for students who aspire to earn college degrees in STEM fields. The school adequately prepared me for college courses with their college credit requirements for graduation and their challenging course load. However, their resources and opportunities available to student are limited.

The school was overall pretty good. The academics are challenging and you must be heavily involved with homework and classwork in order to pass any classes. Presentations, projects, essays, and many other various assignments help to create a diverse academic toolbox to use later down the road, especially in college. The school also offers a dual-enrollment program to students 9th grade and above. It was a great program to vitalize, I was able to complete eleven full-length college classes before graduating. AIMS@UNM is truly only for those who really want to succeed with school and have a promising career.

This school is great if you are looking for a challenge. Although the school is good, I wish the teachers cared a little more about teaching and less about assigning homework. Many of the teachers care only about assigning homework. There are still some teachers that care more about teaching. Overall, I love AIMS and would encourage anyone who wants a challenge to come to AIMS.

This school will ruin your child’s mental health. 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.
