District-Level NCES Analysis
Argyle Isd operates 5 public schools serving 4,966 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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 Denton County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,845 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 76.3% local, 19.0% state, and 4.7% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 16/100, ranked #1004 of 1047 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (27 AP courses district-wide), a 581.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 13.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 59.6% White, 17.5% Asian, 14.1% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Argyle South El, with a diversity index of 66.7/100.
Its largest campus is Argyle H S, enrolling 1,644 students (34% of the district's total enrollment).
Argyle H S accounts for 33.1% of all Argyle Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Argyle 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.
Argyle Isd school enrollment varies 2.6× across entities
Argyle Isd school enrollment ranges from 643 students (lowest) to 1,644 students (highest), a spread of 1,001 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.
Argyle Isd student-counselor ratio is 582:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Argyle Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 13.1% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
