District-Level NCES Analysis
Bullard Isd operates 6 public schools serving 2,886 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 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 Cherokee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,280 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 53.3% local, 35.0% state, and 11.7% 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 23/100, ranked #941 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 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (10 AP courses district-wide), a 411.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 16.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.3% White, 10.0% Hispanic or Latino, 4.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Bullard Int, with a diversity index of 35.3/100.

Bullard H S accounts for 31.1% of all Bullard Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Bullard 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.
Bullard Isd school enrollment varies 3.7× across entities
Bullard Isd school enrollment ranges from 249 students (lowest) to 909 students (highest), a spread of 660 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.
Bullard Isd student-counselor ratio is 412:1 — 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.
Bullard Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 16.3% — 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 Bullard Isd is typically wider than the Bullard Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
