Ezequiel Tafoya Alvarado Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Ezequiel Tafoya Alvarado Academy District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Ezequiel Tafoya Alvarado Academy District a distant remainder — means Ezequiel Tafoya Alvarado Academy District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff.

The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. 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.

Ezequiel Tafoya Alvarado Academy District student-counselor ratio is 704:1 — 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.
