District-Level NCES Analysis
Cisco Isd operates 4 public schools serving 829 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 combined, 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 Eastland County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,080 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 44.3% local, 35.9% state, and 19.8% 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 64/100, ranked #285 of 1047 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 349.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 8.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.8% White, 13.9% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Cisco J H, with a diversity index of 40.1/100.
Its largest campus is Cisco El, enrolling 428 students (51% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Cisco Learning Center, at 12 students, a 36x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Cisco El accounts for 51.3% of all Cisco Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Cisco Isd a distant remainder — means Cisco Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Cisco Isd school enrollment varies 36× across entities
Cisco Isd school enrollment ranges from 12 students (lowest) to 428 students (highest), a spread of 416 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.
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Cisco Isd student-counselor ratio is 349:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Cisco Isd is typically wider than the Cisco Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Cisco Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 8.4% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
