The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 275 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Houston County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,482 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 29.0% local, 46.3% state, and 24.8% 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 $78,644 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 63/100, ranked #273 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 275:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 17.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 71.3% White, 16.4% African American, 6.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Kennard Isd accounts for 100.0% of all KENNARD ISD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means KENNARD ISD-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

KENNARD ISD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 63.2% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

KENNARD ISD student-counselor ratio is 275:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

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 Variation between sub-units within KENNARD ISD is typically wider than the KENNARD ISD-aggregate figure suggests.

KENNARD ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 17.8% — 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 KENNARD ISD is typically wider than the KENNARD ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
