District-Level NCES Analysis
Colorado Isd operates 3 public schools serving 949 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 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 Mitchell County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,677 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 48.8% local, 31.7% state, and 19.5% 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 56/100, ranked #411 of 1047 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.
a 568.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 44.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 54.6% Hispanic or Latino, 36.5% White, 6.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Colorado El and Middle, with a diversity index of 57.4/100.
Its largest campus is Colorado El and Middle, enrolling 681 students (73% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Wallace Accelerated H S, at 18 students, a 38x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Colorado El and Middle accounts for 71.8% of all Colorado Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Colorado Isd a distant remainder — means Colorado 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.
Colorado Isd school enrollment varies 38× across entities
Colorado Isd school enrollment ranges from 18 students (lowest) to 681 students (highest), a spread of 663 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.
Colorado Isd student-counselor ratio is 569:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Colorado Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 44.8% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
