District-Level NCES Analysis
Levelland Isd operates 6 public schools serving 2,691 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined 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 Hockley County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,659 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 36.8% local, 39.8% state, and 23.4% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 52/100, ranked #476 of 1044 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 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 348.6:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 18.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 74.2% Hispanic or Latino, 21.5% White, 2.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Levelland Academic Beginnings Center, with a diversity index of 43.7/100.
Its largest campus is Levelland H S, enrolling 798 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is South El, at 238 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Levelland H S accounts for 26.9% of all Levelland Isd student enrollment
That concentration means Levelland 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.
Levelland Isd school enrollment varies 3.4× across entities
Levelland Isd school enrollment ranges from 238 students (lowest) to 798 students (highest), a spread of 560 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.
Levelland Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 69.5% 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). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. 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.
Levelland Isd student-counselor ratio is 349:1 — 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 Levelland Isd is typically wider than the Levelland Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Levelland Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 18.4% — 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 Levelland Isd is typically wider than the Levelland Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
