District-Level NCES Analysis

KELLER ISD operates 41 public schools serving 34,078 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 20 other, 11 elementary, 5 high, 5 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 32,039 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Tarrant County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,074 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 67.6% local, 22.4% state, and 10.0% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $78,595 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 35/100, ranked #798 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 5 of 41 schools offering Advanced Placement (106 AP courses district-wide), a 381.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 25.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 42.3% White, 26.8% Hispanic or Latino, 11.7% African American across the district's schools.

KELLER ISD school enrollment varies 51× across entities

KELLER ISD school enrollment ranges from 58 students (lowest) to 2,970 students (highest), a spread of 2,912 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

KELLER ISD student-counselor ratio is 382:1 — 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.

KELLER ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 25.8% — 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 KELLER ISD is typically wider than the KELLER ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
