District-Level NCES Analysis

ALVIN ISD operates 33 public schools serving 29,188 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 20 other, 8 middle, 4 high, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 28,420 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Brazoria County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,620 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 35.1% local, 54.1% state, and 10.9% 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 $75,331 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 45/100, ranked #602 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 4 of 33 schools offering Advanced Placement (81 AP courses district-wide), a 545.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 19.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 43.8% Hispanic or Latino, 22.8% African American, 20.9% White across the district's schools.

ALVIN ISD school enrollment varies 2766× across entities

ALVIN ISD school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 2,766 students (highest), a spread of 2,765 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

ALVIN ISD student-counselor ratio is 546:1 — 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.

ALVIN ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 19.0% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

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 Variation between sub-units within ALVIN ISD is typically wider than the ALVIN ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
