District-Level NCES Analysis
Edgewood Isd operates 4 public schools serving 1,042 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 elementary, 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 Van Zandt County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,005 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 26.2% local, 58.2% state, and 15.5% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 51/100, ranked #503 of 1044 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 687.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 19.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.3% White, 16.7% Hispanic or Latino, 2.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Edgewood Int, with a diversity index of 38.9/100.
Its largest campus is Edgewood H S, enrolling 281 students (27% of the district's total enrollment).
Edgewood H S accounts for 27.0% of all Edgewood Isd student enrollment
That concentration means Edgewood Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Edgewood Isd student-counselor ratio is 688:1 — 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.
Edgewood Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 19.5% — 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 Edgewood Isd is typically wider than the Edgewood Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
