District-Level NCES Analysis
Elgin Isd operates 7 public schools serving 5,404 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 2 high, 1 elementary, 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 Bastrop County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,080 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 40.2% local, 44.8% state, and 15.1% 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 27/100, ranked #885 of 1047 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 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (13 AP courses district-wide), a 325.9:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 28.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 81.2% Hispanic or Latino, 9.2% White, 7.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Neidig El, with a diversity index of 45.8/100.
Its largest campus is Elgin H S, enrolling 1,771 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Phoenix H S, at 50 students, a 35x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Elgin H S accounts for 32.8% of all Elgin Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Elgin Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Elgin Isd school enrollment varies 35× across entities
Elgin Isd school enrollment ranges from 50 students (lowest) to 1,771 students (highest), a spread of 1,721 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 sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. 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.
Elgin Isd student-counselor ratio is 326:1 — 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 Elgin Isd is typically wider than the Elgin Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Elgin Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 28.2% — 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 Elgin Isd is typically wider than the Elgin Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
