I skimmed over several of the threads in the NM forum, but didn't see any links to Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) type info. I think these might be helpful for folks relocating to the area, even if you don't have kids. I have found that the local schools can be a reflection on the immediate area that surrounds them.
Main APS website: ww2.aps.edu
APS School "Report Cards" (information on individual schools & the district):
www.rda.aps.edu/dashboard/main2.asp
And for general info on the city itself:
www.cabq.gov
Hope these are helpful!
