The funding mix is 10.5% local, 76.1% state, and 13.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 41/100, ranked #66 of 98 in New Mexico against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 371:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 24.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 69.3% White, 15.9% Hispanic or Latino, 4.6% African American across the district's schools.

21st Century Public Academy accounts for 100.0% of all 21ST CENTURY PUBLIC ACADEMY student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means 21ST CENTURY PUBLIC ACADEMY-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

21ST CENTURY PUBLIC ACADEMY student-counselor ratio is 371:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within 21ST CENTURY PUBLIC ACADEMY is typically wider than the 21ST CENTURY PUBLIC ACADEMY-aggregate figure suggests.
