District-Level NCES Analysis
Huffman Isd operates 5 public schools serving 3,717 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 middle, 1 high, 1 combined, 1 elementary 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 Harris County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,128 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 48.3% local, 40.0% state, and 11.7% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 26/100, ranked #903 of 1044 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 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (13 AP courses district-wide), a 540.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 20.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 61.4% White, 31.3% Hispanic or Latino, 3.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Falcon Ridge El, with a diversity index of 54.7/100.
Its largest campus is Hargrave H S, enrolling 1,165 students (32% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Excel Academy, at 1 students, a 1165x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Hargrave H S accounts for 31.3% of all Huffman Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Huffman 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.
Huffman Isd school enrollment varies 1165× across entities
Huffman Isd school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 1,165 students (highest), a spread of 1,164 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.
Huffman Isd student-counselor ratio is 540:1 — 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.
Huffman Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 20.4% — 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 Huffman Isd is typically wider than the Huffman Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
