District-Level NCES Analysis
House Municipal Schools operates 3 public schools serving 53 students, placing it among the smallest districts in New Mexico. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 combined, 1 middle 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 Quay County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $29,947 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 15 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 8.3% local, 87.7% state, and 4.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
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. Its most demographically mixed campus is House High, with a diversity index of 59.0/100.
Its largest campus is House High, enrolling 29 students (48% of the district's total enrollment).
House High accounts for 47.5% of all House Municipal Schools student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of House Municipal Schools a distant remainder — 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 school enrollment varies 2.4× across entities
House Municipal Schools school enrollment ranges from 12 students (lowest) to 29 students (highest), a spread of 17 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
House Municipal Schools student-counselor ratio is 81:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
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.
House Municipal Schools has 3 schools, including 1 high, 1 combined, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 53 students.
