The school portfolio breaks down into 3 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

The funding mix is 0.2% local, 72.9% state, and 26.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 27/100, ranked #929 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 138.5:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 82.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 46.3% African American, 44.9% Hispanic or Latino, 4.6% White across the district's schools.

Evolution Academy Charter School accounts for 37.0% of all EVOLUTION ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means EVOLUTION ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL-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.

EVOLUTION ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 63.9% 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 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.

EVOLUTION ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL student-counselor ratio is 139:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

EVOLUTION ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL chronic absenteeism rate is 82.5% — 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.
