District-Level NCES Analysis
Brownsboro Isd operates 6 public schools serving 2,620 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 2 elementary, 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 Henderson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,304 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 31.6% local, 49.0% state, and 19.4% 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 39/100, ranked #708 of 1044 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 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 384.2:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 26.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 70.9% White, 19.1% Hispanic or Latino, 5.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Brownsboro H S, with a diversity index of 48.0/100.
Its largest campus is Brownsboro H S, enrolling 770 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Chandler Int, at 254 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Brownsboro H S accounts for 29.4% of all Brownsboro Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Brownsboro Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Brownsboro Isd school enrollment varies 3.0× across entities
Brownsboro Isd school enrollment ranges from 254 students (lowest) to 770 students (highest), a spread of 516 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.
Brownsboro Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 58.9% 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 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.
Brownsboro Isd student-counselor ratio is 384:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Brownsboro Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 26.3% — 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 Brownsboro Isd is typically wider than the Brownsboro Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
