Comment: In addition to the helpful links below by the IP 4.37..., the institution must meet the criteria for notably of organizations/corporations found at WP:NORG and meet the criteria for significant coverage in independent, secondary reliable sources per WP:SIRS. Schools do not have inherent notability. Netherzone (talk) 03:44, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This draft still lacks independent, secondary, reliable sources. The only secondary source is from a contributing author, making it of dubious reliability. It reads like a press release. You need multiple reliable secondary sources that are completely independent and that discuss the subject in detail in order to show notability. Please read WP:42, WP:NSCHOOL and WP:My first article and correct the deficiencies in sourcing before resubmitting. All facts that make the subject look good (or bad) need independent secondary reliable sources. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 23:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

The school is affiliated with the Coalition of Essential Schools [5] and the New Mexico State Department of Education.

History
[edit]New Mexico Academy for the Media Arts was founded in 2008 then known as Media Arts Collaborative Charter School in a building on Central multiple people such as Marvin H. Gladstone (~1928-2019).[7] The school eventually expanded into another building formerly inhabited by Bank of America in July of 2024.
The school is an inclusive and diverse school, with many students identifying as part of the LGBTQIA+ community ranking #16 "Most Diverse Public High Schools in New Mexico" out of 220[8]
Today, Media Arts has an enrollment of about ~150 in grades 6 through 12, with students drawn from throughout the Albuquerque metropolitan area and surrounding cities.[9]
Heads of school
[edit]Facilities
[edit]The school sits on a gated campus in the southeastern part of the city. It is divided into two buildings, the main building, and then the CTE building. The school's main building is used for students to learn state-mandated material, while the CTE building is used for career technical education related activities such as filmmaking, game development, web design, photography, art, graphic design, etc.
Sensory Room
[edit]A sensory room was planned and orchestrated to be installed into a portable classroom during the 2023-24 school year thanks to a grant funded by the New Mexico Department of Education, but once the grant had not been received by Media Arts before the June 30th deadline, the sensory room project was discontinued. The sensory room was also a baseline for a scrapped documentary series created by a group of students and teachers documenting mental health issues in the youth population. Funding for the documentary was provided by Pamelya Herndon but once the sensory room project was canceled, the documentary was also scrapped. Students had interviewed New Mexico Legislators in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as any other local politicians and experts regarding the teen mental health crisis and more. The documentary had not begun editing before the sensory room was canceled. The sensory room may eventually be added to the school.[13]
Student body
[edit]The school is roughly half male and female, excluding non-binary and other individuals. Many students identify as students of color or multicultural. In addition, the school has a 14:1 student/teacher ratio.[14]
Tuition
[edit]Media Arts is a tuition-free, state-chartered, public school. Students are provided with laptops for professional software use.[15]
