District-Level NCES Analysis
Lindsay Isd operates 2 public schools serving 486 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Cooke County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,521 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 55.3% local, 34.5% state, and 10.2% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 33/100, ranked #806 of 1047 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 253.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 6.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.6% White, 2.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Lindsay El, enrolling 268 students (53% of the district's total enrollment).
Lindsay El accounts for 52.9% of all Lindsay Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Lindsay Isd a distant remainder — means Lindsay Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Lindsay Isd student-counselor ratio is 254:1 — 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 Lindsay Isd is typically wider than the Lindsay Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Lindsay Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 6.2% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
