APS weighs split sessions or redrawing Cibola crowding
Albuquerque public schools consider two fixes for Cibola High overcrowding. One option splits sessions with freshmen afternoon and upper grades morning. The other would move out-of-district and Rio Rancho students back to their home schools, potentially ending the Jemez Valley joint agreement. Jemez High School in 40 miles northwest serves about 245 students. officials warn 400 extra students from Rio Rancho would overwhelm the district.
