District-Level NCES Analysis
Fort Stockton Isd operates 6 public schools serving 2,187 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 2 elementary, 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 Pecos County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,192 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 69.1% local, 14.8% state, and 16.1% 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 45/100, ranked #609 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.
a 397.5:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 42.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 81.7% Hispanic or Latino, 12.2% White, 3.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Butz Preparatory Academy, with a diversity index of 66.2/100.
Its largest campus is Butz Preparatory Academy, enrolling 2,039 students (49% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Fort Stockton Alamo El, at 290 students, a 7x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Butz Preparatory Academy accounts for 48.5% of all Fort Stockton Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Fort Stockton Isd a distant remainder — means Fort Stockton Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Fort Stockton Isd school enrollment varies 7.0× across entities
Fort Stockton Isd school enrollment ranges from 290 students (lowest) to 2,039 students (highest), a spread of 1,749 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.
Fort Stockton Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 70.5% 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). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. 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.
Fort Stockton Isd student-counselor ratio is 398:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Fort Stockton Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 42.2% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Fort Stockton Isd has 6 schools, including 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 2 elementary. Total enrollment is 2,187 students.
