District-Level NCES Analysis

MCCURDY CHARTER SCHOOL operates 1 public schools serving 540 students, placing it among the smaller districts in New Mexico. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 557 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Santa Fe County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,682 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 4.1% local, 76.2% state, and 19.8% 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. The district's equity score — 33/100, ranked #77 of 98 in New Mexico against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 278.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 25.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.8% Hispanic or Latino, 2.0% White, 0.4% Asian across the district's schools.

Mccurdy Charter School accounts for 100.0% of all MCCURDY CHARTER SCHOOL student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means MCCURDY CHARTER SCHOOL-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

MCCURDY CHARTER SCHOOL has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 62.4% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants 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.
