District-Level NCES Analysis
Alice Isd operates 6 public schools serving 4,506 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 1 high, 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 Jim Wells County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,993 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 23.0% local, 44.0% state, and 32.9% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 55/100, ranked #426 of 1047 in Texas against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 426.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 48.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.1% Hispanic or Latino, 7.8% White, 0.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Adams Middle, with a diversity index of 20.4/100.
Its largest campus is Alice H S, enrolling 1,295 students (30% of the district's total enrollment).
Alice H S accounts for 28.7% of all Alice Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Alice Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Alice Isd school enrollment varies 2.7× across entities
Alice Isd school enrollment ranges from 471 students (lowest) to 1,295 students (highest), a spread of 824 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
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. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Alice Isd student-counselor ratio is 427:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Alice Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 48.2% — 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.
Alice Isd has 6 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 4 combined. Total enrollment is 4,506 students.
