Abstract: Los Padillas Elementary School is part of a network of community schools supported by Albuquerque Public Schools and the ABC (Albuquerque/Bernalillo County) Community School Partnership. Since 2018--when Los Padillas adopted the community school strategy in response to its MRI (More Rigorous Intervention) designation due to low test scores--the school has undergone a remarkable transformation driven by a shared vision and engaged community. By centering culturally relevant, sustaining, and community-connected learning opportunities--including dual language instruction, outdoor education, and student elected enrichment activities--Los Padillas has seen improvements in school climate, chronic absenteeism, attendance, academic performance, teacher retention, and enrollment.
