District-Level NCES Analysis
Frenship Isd operates 12 public schools serving 11,165 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 8 combined, 3 middle, 1 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Lubbock County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,829 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 121 of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 53.2% local, 34.3% state, and 12.5% 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 18/100, ranked #990 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 12 schools offering Advanced Placement (17 AP courses district-wide), a 609.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 19.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 50.1% Hispanic or Latino, 37.4% White, 5.2% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Oak Ridge El, with a diversity index of 63.0/100.
Its largest campus is Frenship H S, enrolling 3,422 students (32% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Frenship Middle, at 529 students, a 6x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Frenship H S accounts for 30.6% of all Frenship Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Frenship 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.
Frenship Isd school enrollment varies 6.5× across entities
Frenship Isd school enrollment ranges from 529 students (lowest) to 3,422 students (highest), a spread of 2,893 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.
Frenship Isd student-counselor ratio is 609:1 — 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.
Frenship Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 19.2% — 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 Frenship Isd is typically wider than the Frenship Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
