District-Level NCES Analysis

LIBERTY HILL ISD operates 10 public schools serving 7,869 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 other, 2 high, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 8,194 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Williamson County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $22,980 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 69.6% local, 22.6% state, and 7.8% 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 $62,678 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 52/100, ranked #482 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (17 AP courses district-wide), a 604.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 26.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.4% White, 26.8% Hispanic or Latino, 8.9% Asian across the district's schools.

Liberty Hill H S accounts for 26.3% of all LIBERTY HILL ISD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means LIBERTY HILL 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.

LIBERTY HILL ISD school enrollment varies 2156× across entities

LIBERTY HILL ISD school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 2,156 students (highest), a spread of 2,155 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.

LIBERTY HILL ISD student-counselor ratio is 605:1 — 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.

LIBERTY HILL ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 26.9% — 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 LIBERTY HILL ISD is typically wider than the LIBERTY HILL ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
