District-Level NCES Analysis

ABQ SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE operates 1 public schools serving 910 students, placing it among the smaller districts in New Mexico. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,005 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Bernalillo County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,785 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 10.7% local, 73.8% state, and 15.5% 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 — 27/100, ranked #88 of 98 in New Mexico against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 1005:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 13.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 42.6% Hispanic or Latino, 30.4% White, 5.8% Asian across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means ABQ SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

ABQ SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE student-counselor ratio is 1005:1 — 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.

ABQ SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE chronic absenteeism rate is 13.7% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
