District-Level NCES Analysis
Jourdanton Isd operates 7 public schools serving 1,590 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 2 middle, 1 high, 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 Atascosa County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,308 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

The district's equity score is 44/100, ranked #632 of 1047 in Texas against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 471:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.5% Hispanic or Latino, 22.8% White, 0.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Jourdanton J H, with a diversity index of 50.5/100.
Its largest campus is Jourdanton H S, enrolling 471 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is The Larry Brown School, at 2 students, a 236x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Jourdanton H S accounts for 29.6% of all Jourdanton Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Jourdanton 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.
Jourdanton Isd school enrollment varies 236× across entities
Jourdanton Isd school enrollment ranges from 2 students (lowest) to 471 students (highest), a spread of 469 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.
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.
Jourdanton Isd student-counselor ratio is 471:1 — 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.
Jourdanton Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 24.9% — 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 Jourdanton Isd is typically wider than the Jourdanton Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
