District-Level NCES Analysis
Flour Bluff Isd operates 7 public schools serving 5,732 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 2 combined, 1 high, 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 Nueces County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,264 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 56.3% local, 25.7% state, and 18.0% 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 17/100, ranked #994 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 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (10 AP courses district-wide), a 600.2:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.2% Hispanic or Latino, 34.7% White, 1.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Flour Bluff Int, with a diversity index of 59.9/100.
Its largest campus is Flour Bluff H S, enrolling 1,940 students (35% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Nueces Co J J a E P, at 3 students, a 647x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Flour Bluff H S accounts for 33.8% of all Flour Bluff Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Flour Bluff 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.
Flour Bluff Isd school enrollment varies 647× across entities
Flour Bluff Isd school enrollment ranges from 3 students (lowest) to 1,940 students (highest), a spread of 1,937 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Flour Bluff Isd student-counselor ratio is 600:1 — 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.
Flour Bluff Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 24.6% — 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 Flour Bluff Isd is typically wider than the Flour Bluff Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
