District-Level NCES Analysis
Clovis Municipal Schools operates 18 public schools serving 7,664 students, placing it among the smaller districts in New Mexico. The school portfolio breaks down into 13 combined, 3 middle, 2 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Curry County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,426 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 141 New Mexico districts by per-pupil spending. See how New Mexico compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 8.4% local, 73.3% state, and 18.3% 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 38/100, ranked #66 of 98 in New Mexico against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 18 schools offering Advanced Placement (12 AP courses district-wide), a 294.6:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 43.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 65.5% Hispanic or Latino, 23.3% White, 5.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Barry Elementary, with a diversity index of 67.0/100.
Its largest campus is Clovis High, enrolling 1,506 students (19% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Los Ninos, at 101 students, a 15x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Clovis High accounts for 19.4% of all Clovis Municipal Schools student enrollment
That concentration means Clovis Municipal Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Clovis Municipal Schools school enrollment varies 15× across entities
Clovis Municipal Schools school enrollment ranges from 101 students (lowest) to 1,506 students (highest), a spread of 1,405 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.
Clovis Municipal Schools has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 100.0% 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.
Clovis Municipal Schools student-counselor ratio is 295:1 — 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 Clovis Municipal Schools is typically wider than the Clovis Municipal Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Clovis Municipal Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 43.4% — 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.
Clovis Municipal Schools has 18 schools, including 2 high, 3 middle, 13 combined. Total enrollment is 7,664 students.
