District-Level NCES Analysis
Brownfield Isd operates 5 public schools serving 1,647 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high 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 Terry County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,233 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 26.7% local, 47.4% state, and 26.0% 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 75/100, ranked #108 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 87.1:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 39.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 76.1% Hispanic or Latino, 21.2% White, 1.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Brownfield Education Center, with a diversity index of 48.5/100.
Its largest campus is Oak Grove El, enrolling 670 students (42% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Brownfield Education Center, at 29 students, a 23x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Oak Grove El accounts for 40.7% of all Brownfield Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Brownfield Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Brownfield Isd school enrollment varies 23× across entities
Brownfield Isd school enrollment ranges from 29 students (lowest) to 670 students (highest), a spread of 641 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. 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.
Brownfield Isd student-counselor ratio is 87:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Brownfield Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 39.5% — 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.
