The district's equity score is 61/100, ranked #31 of 98 in New Mexico against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 328:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Albuquerque Bilingual Academy accounts for 86.5% of all Albuquerque Bilingual Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Albuquerque Bilingual Academy a distant remainder — means Albuquerque Bilingual Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Albuquerque Bilingual Academy has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 99.2% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Albuquerque Bilingual Academy student-counselor ratio is 328:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Albuquerque Bilingual Academy is typically wider than the Albuquerque Bilingual Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Albuquerque Bilingual Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 24.4% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Albuquerque Bilingual Academy is typically wider than the Albuquerque Bilingual Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
