District-Level NCES Analysis
Liberty-Eylau Isd operates 4 public schools serving 2,003 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 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 Bowie County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,213 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 24.0% local, 55.2% state, and 20.8% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 77/100, ranked #89 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 343:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 42.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 56.5% African American, 24.9% White, 8.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Liberty-Eylau El, with a diversity index of 63.8/100.
Its largest campus is Liberty-Eylau Middle, enrolling 594 students (31% of the district's total enrollment).
Liberty-Eylau Middle accounts for 29.7% of all Liberty-Eylau Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Liberty-Eylau Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Liberty-Eylau Isd school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Liberty-Eylau Isd school enrollment ranges from 269 students (lowest) to 594 students (highest), a spread of 325 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.
Liberty-Eylau Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 85.8% 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 — including this one — 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.
Liberty-Eylau Isd student-counselor ratio is 343:1 — 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 Liberty-Eylau Isd is typically wider than the Liberty-Eylau Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Liberty-Eylau Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 42.5% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
