District-Level NCES Analysis
Baird Isd operates 2 public schools serving 312 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined 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 Callahan County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,907 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending.

The funding mix is 59.0% local, 28.8% state, and 12.2% 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 70/100, ranked #195 of 1047 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 348:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 19.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Baird El accounts for 59.8% of all Baird Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Baird Isd a distant remainder — means Baird Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Baird Isd student-counselor ratio is 348:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Baird Isd is typically wider than the Baird Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Baird Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 19.8% — 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 Baird Isd is typically wider than the Baird Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
