District-Level NCES Analysis
Grape Creek Isd operates 6 public schools serving 1,172 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 2 combined, 1 elementary, 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 Tom Green County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,198 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 25.7% local, 57.6% state, and 16.7% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 54/100, ranked #446 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 86.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 16.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 66.1% Hispanic or Latino, 31.2% White, 0.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Grape Creek Middle, with a diversity index of 55.1/100.
Its largest campus is Grape Creek H S, enrolling 334 students (28% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Fairview Accelerated, at 3 students, a 111x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Grape Creek H S accounts for 27.9% of all Grape Creek Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Grape Creek 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.
Grape Creek Isd school enrollment varies 111× across entities
Grape Creek Isd school enrollment ranges from 3 students (lowest) to 334 students (highest), a spread of 331 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Grape Creek Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 66.5% 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.
Grape Creek Isd student-counselor ratio is 86:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Grape Creek Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 16.6% — 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 Grape Creek Isd is typically wider than the Grape Creek Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Grape Creek Isd has 6 schools, including 2 high, 2 combined, 1 elementary, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,172 students.
