The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,399 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 37.5% local, 31.2% state, and 31.3% 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 $104,170 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 73/100, ranked #110 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
a 3030.2:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 25.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 44.8% African American, 43.8% Hispanic or Latino, 6.6% White across the district's schools.
Hearne El accounts for 52.5% of all HEARNE ISD student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means HEARNE ISD-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.
HEARNE ISD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 92.1% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. 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.
HEARNE ISD student-counselor ratio is 3030:1 — 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.
HEARNE ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 25.6% — 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 HEARNE ISD is typically wider than the HEARNE ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
