District-Level NCES Analysis
Freer Isd operates 3 public schools serving 734 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 Duval County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,500 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 35.6% local, 40.9% state, and 23.6% 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 76/100, ranked #101 of 1047 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 253.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 43.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 93.5% Hispanic or Latino, 5.5% White, 0.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Norman M Thomas El, with a diversity index of 14.9/100.
Its largest campus is Norman M Thomas El, enrolling 361 students (51% of the district's total enrollment).
Norman M Thomas El accounts for 49.2% of all Freer Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Freer Isd a distant remainder — means Freer Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Freer Isd school enrollment varies 2.5× across entities
Freer Isd school enrollment ranges from 146 students (lowest) to 361 students (highest), a spread of 215 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.
The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. 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.
Freer Isd student-counselor ratio is 254:1 — 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 Freer Isd is typically wider than the Freer Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Freer Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 43.1% — 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.
