District-Level NCES Analysis

EXCEL ACADEMY operates 4 public schools serving 255 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 other, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 302 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Harris County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,475 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 0.7% local, 56.2% state, and 43.1% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $114,332 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 93/100, ranked #4 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

and 9.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 48.9% African American, 42.9% Hispanic or Latino, 5.7% White across the district's schools.

Harris County Juvenile Detention Center accounts for 54.6% of all EXCEL ACADEMY student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means EXCEL ACADEMY-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

EXCEL ACADEMY school enrollment varies 4.6× across entities

EXCEL ACADEMY school enrollment ranges from 36 students (lowest) to 165 students (highest), a spread of 129 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio — most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

EXCEL ACADEMY has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 93.8% 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.

EXCEL ACADEMY chronic absenteeism rate is 9.9% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

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