District-Level NCES Analysis
Hutto Isd operates 11 public schools serving 9,620 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 8 combined, 2 high, 1 middle 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 Williamson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,282 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 59.0% local, 30.1% state, and 10.8% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 23/100, ranked #937 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 2 of 11 schools offering Advanced Placement (22 AP courses district-wide), a 566.1:1 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 46.9% Hispanic or Latino, 27.6% White, 13.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Benjamin Doc Kerley El, with a diversity index of 70.6/100.
Its largest campus is Hutto H S, enrolling 2,313 students (24% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Nadine Johnson El, at 547 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Hutto H S accounts for 23.9% of all Hutto Isd student enrollment
That concentration means Hutto 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.
Hutto Isd school enrollment varies 4.2× across entities
Hutto Isd school enrollment ranges from 547 students (lowest) to 2,313 students (highest), a spread of 1,766 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.
Hutto Isd student-counselor ratio is 566:1 — 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.
Hutto 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 Hutto Isd is typically wider than the Hutto Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
