District-Level NCES Analysis

CANYON ISD operates 21 public schools serving 11,075 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 10 other, 4 high, 4 elementary, 3 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 11,565 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Randall County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,516 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 61.3% local, 28.4% state, and 10.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $64,609 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 27/100, ranked #918 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 21 schools offering Advanced Placement (23 AP courses district-wide), a 396.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 19.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.8% White, 33.0% Hispanic or Latino, 4.2% African American across the district's schools.

CANYON ISD school enrollment varies 31× across entities

CANYON ISD school enrollment ranges from 40 students (lowest) to 1,221 students (highest), a spread of 1,181 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

CANYON ISD student-counselor ratio is 397:1 — 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.

CANYON ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 19.9% — 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 CANYON ISD is typically wider than the CANYON ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
