District-Level NCES Analysis

GODLEY ISD operates 6 public schools serving 2,811 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 other, 2 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,196 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Johnson County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $33,447 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 48.6% local, 41.4% state, and 10.0% 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 $87,932 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 69/100, ranked #166 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 559.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 30.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.6% White, 35.2% Hispanic or Latino, 4.0% African American across the district's schools.

Godley H S accounts for 27.2% of all GODLEY ISD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means GODLEY 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.

GODLEY ISD student-counselor ratio is 560:1 — 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.

GODLEY ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 30.1% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
