District-Level NCES Analysis
Bloomfield Schools operates 7 public schools serving 2,584 students, placing it among the smallest districts in New Mexico. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 2 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in San Juan County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,195 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 143 New Mexico districts by per-pupil spending. See how New Mexico compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 25.5% local, 60.1% state, and 14.5% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 41/100, ranked #63 of 98 in New Mexico against a state average of 51, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (12 AP courses district-wide), a 764:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 53.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 31.6% Hispanic or Latino, 25.9% White, 0.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Naaba Ani Elementary, with a diversity index of 69.8/100.
Its largest campus is Bloomfield High, enrolling 764 students (32% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Charlie Y. Brown Alt, at 95 students, a 8x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Bloomfield High accounts for 29.6% of all Bloomfield Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Bloomfield Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Bloomfield Schools school enrollment varies 8.0× across entities
Bloomfield Schools school enrollment ranges from 95 students (lowest) to 764 students (highest), a spread of 669 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Bloomfield Schools student-counselor ratio is 764:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Bloomfield Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 53.5% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
