Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,026 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 0.8% local, 76.5% state, and 22.7% 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. The district's equity score — 62/100, ranked #288 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
a 117.8:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 26.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 61.0% Hispanic or Latino, 21.8% African American, 6.8% White across the district's schools.
Heritage Academy of Del Rio Middle accounts for 43.1% of all HERITAGE ACADEMY student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means HERITAGE ACADEMY-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
HERITAGE ACADEMY school enrollment varies 20× across entities
HERITAGE ACADEMY school enrollment ranges from 13 students (lowest) to 254 students (highest), a spread of 241 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
HERITAGE ACADEMY has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 85.0% 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.
HERITAGE ACADEMY student-counselor ratio is 118:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
HERITAGE ACADEMY chronic absenteeism rate is 26.7% — 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 HERITAGE ACADEMY is typically wider than the HERITAGE ACADEMY-aggregate figure suggests.
