District-Level NCES Analysis

ALDO LEOPOLD CHARTER operates 1 public schools serving 182 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 201 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Grant County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,787 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 7.3% local, 78.8% state, and 13.9% 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.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 201:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 37.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means ALDO LEOPOLD CHARTER-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.

ALDO LEOPOLD CHARTER student-counselor ratio is 201:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

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

ALDO LEOPOLD CHARTER chronic absenteeism rate is 37.8% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
