District-Level NCES Analysis
Huntsville Isd operates 11 public schools serving 11,313 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 elementary, 2 high, 2 middle, 1 combined 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 Walker County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,858 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 121 of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 26.8% local, 63.5% state, and 9.7% 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 24/100, ranked #927 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 2 of 11 schools offering Advanced Placement (28 AP courses district-wide), a 511.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 39.0% Hispanic or Latino, 30.6% White, 23.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Texas Online Preparatory El, with a diversity index of 71.3/100.
Its largest campus is Texas Online Preparatory H S, enrolling 2,228 students (18% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Gibbs Pre-K Center, at 291 students, a 8x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Texas Online Preparatory H S accounts for 18.4% of all Huntsville Isd student enrollment
That concentration means Huntsville 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.
Huntsville Isd school enrollment varies 7.7× across entities
Huntsville Isd school enrollment ranges from 291 students (lowest) to 2,228 students (highest), a spread of 1,937 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Huntsville Isd student-counselor ratio is 511:1 — 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.
Huntsville Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 24.5% — 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 Huntsville Isd is typically wider than the Huntsville Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
