District-Level NCES Analysis
Granbury Isd operates 10 public schools serving 7,954 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 2 high, 2 middle, 2 elementary 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 Hood County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,649 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 77.8% local, 8.6% state, and 13.6% 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 20/100, ranked #973 of 1047 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 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (21 AP courses district-wide), a 530.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 29.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 61.3% White, 31.9% Hispanic or Latino, 1.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Emma Roberson Early Learning Academy, with a diversity index of 57.2/100.
Its largest campus is Granbury H S, enrolling 2,215 students (28% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Stars Accelerated H S, at 44 students, a 50x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Granbury H S accounts for 27.8% of all Granbury Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Granbury Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Granbury Isd school enrollment varies 50× across entities
Granbury Isd school enrollment ranges from 44 students (lowest) to 2,215 students (highest), a spread of 2,171 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Granbury Isd student-counselor ratio is 531:1 — 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.
Granbury Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 29.5% — 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 Granbury Isd is typically wider than the Granbury Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
