AVINGER ISD operates 1 public schools serving 123 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. 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 112 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Cass County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,628 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 31.9% local, 51.6% state, and 16.5% 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 $106,861 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
and 51.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 71.4% White, 17.9% African American, 3.6% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Avinger School accounts for 100.0% of all AVINGER ISD student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means AVINGER ISD-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.
AVINGER ISD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 76.4% 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 — including this one — 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.
AVINGER ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 51.8% — 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.
