District-Level NCES Analysis
Del Valle Isd operates 14 public schools serving 11,118 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 11 combined, 3 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Travis County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,356 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 67.8% local, 13.4% state, and 18.8% 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 38/100, ranked #717 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 14 schools offering Advanced Placement (21 AP courses district-wide), a 565:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 32.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.2% Hispanic or Latino, 8.5% African American, 5.6% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Newton Collins El, with a diversity index of 46.4/100.
Its largest campus is Del Valle H S, enrolling 3,641 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Del Valle Opportunity Ctr, at 228 students, a 16x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Del Valle H S accounts for 31.1% of all Del Valle Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Del Valle 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.
Del Valle Isd school enrollment varies 16× across entities
Del Valle Isd school enrollment ranges from 228 students (lowest) to 3,641 students (highest), a spread of 3,413 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Del Valle Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 79.6% 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 — including this one — 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.
Del Valle Isd student-counselor ratio is 565:1 — 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.
Del Valle Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 32.3% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Del Valle Isd has 14 schools, including 11 combined, 3 middle. Total enrollment is 11,118 students.
