House Municipal Schools operates 3 public schools serving 53 students, placing it among the smaller districts in New Mexico. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 other, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $29,947 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 8.3% local, 87.7% state, and 4.0% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $155,400 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.

a 81.3:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 30.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 61.2% White, 29.8% Hispanic or Latino, 6.7% African American across the district's schools.

House High accounts for 47.5% of all House Municipal Schools student enrollment

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

House Municipal Schools student-counselor ratio is 81:1 — 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.

House Municipal Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 30.8% — 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.
