District-Level NCES Analysis
Charlotte Isd operates 3 public schools serving 433 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 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 Atascosa County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,025 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 121 of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 56.7% local, 23.1% state, and 20.2% 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 78/100, ranked #85 of 1044 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.
a 110.9:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 16.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 84.4% Hispanic or Latino, 15.0% White, 0.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Charlotte El, with a diversity index of 40.5/100.
Its largest campus is Charlotte El, enrolling 203 students (48% of the district's total enrollment).
Charlotte El accounts for 46.9% of all Charlotte Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Charlotte Isd a distant remainder — means Charlotte Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Charlotte Isd school enrollment varies 2.4× across entities
Charlotte Isd school enrollment ranges from 84 students (lowest) to 203 students (highest), a spread of 119 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.
Charlotte Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 57.4% 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.
Charlotte Isd student-counselor ratio is 111:1 — 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.
Charlotte Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 16.1% — 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 Charlotte Isd is typically wider than the Charlotte Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Charlotte Isd has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 433 students.
