District-Level NCES Analysis
Canadian Isd operates 4 public schools serving 829 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 combined, 1 middle, 1 elementary 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 Hemphill County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,264 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 82.7% local, 9.8% state, and 7.5% 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 55/100, ranked #434 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 379:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 9.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 50.3% White, 46.4% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Baker El, with a diversity index of 55.1/100.
Its largest campus is Canadian H S, enrolling 283 students (37% of the district's total enrollment).
Canadian H S accounts for 34.1% of all Canadian Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Canadian 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.
Canadian Isd student-counselor ratio is 379:1 — 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.
Canadian Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 9.8% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Canadian Isd has 4 schools, including 1 high, 1 combined, 1 middle, 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 829 students.
