District-Level NCES Analysis
Bastrop Isd operates 14 public schools serving 12,506 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 combined, 4 high, 2 middle, 2 elementary schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Bastrop County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,662 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 45.7% local, 39.7% state, and 14.6% 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 31/100, ranked #829 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 3 of 14 schools offering Advanced Placement (39 AP courses district-wide), a 643.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 36.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 76.2% Hispanic or Latino, 18.1% White, 2.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Mina El, with a diversity index of 60.8/100.
Its largest campus is Cedar Creek H S, enrolling 2,144 students (18% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Genesis H S, at 185 students, a 12x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Cedar Creek H S accounts for 17.1% of all Bastrop Isd student enrollment
That concentration means Bastrop 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.
Bastrop Isd school enrollment varies 12× across entities
Bastrop Isd school enrollment ranges from 185 students (lowest) to 2,144 students (highest), a spread of 1,959 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. 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.
Bastrop Isd student-counselor ratio is 644:1 — 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.
Bastrop Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 36.4% — 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.
