GEORGIA O'KEEFFE ELEMENTARY

Georgia O’Keeffe Elementary has a strong, confident feel that many families appreciate. The math proficiency usually sits around 45% to 55%, which is noticeably higher than New Mexico’s statewide math level of roughly 25%. The teacher–student ratio stays near 1:16, giving classes a medium-sized feel where teachers can keep an eye on each child without the room feeling crowded. Compared to nearby schools like Dennis Chavez Elementary (around 35% to 45%) or Double Eagle Elementary (roughly 50% to 60%), Georgia O’Keeffe typically sits on the higher side, forming one of the stronger academic pockets in this part of the city. Families renting a 3-bedroom home in this neighborhood usually pay around $1,900 to $2,400, especially near the quieter residential pockets with larger yards. Most students later move on to La Cueva High School, well known for alumni who’ve gone into engineering programs, healthcare, aviation maintenance, business, tech roles, and even competitive athletics or creative careers in design and media. Georgia O’Keeffe reflects that same upward-moving energy. Teachers seem tuned in to the soft details, who needs a gentler warm-up, who thrives with hands-on learning, and who settles once the room gets quiet. It doesn’t feel rushed or strict. It feels steady, well-supported, and genuinely connected to the families who count on it.

The school recently introduced a math enrichment block for higher-level problem solving. A new after school robotics and engineering club also launched, giving students weekly hands-on STEM activities.
