District-Level NCES Analysis

Llano Isd operates 4 public schools serving 1,937 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,303 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending.

Packsaddle El accounts for 32.0% of all Llano Isd student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Llano 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. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Llano Isd reports 65.0% free-lunch eligibility

The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.

Llano Isd student-counselor ratio is 250:1 — 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 Llano Isd is typically wider than the Llano Isd-aggregate figure suggests.

Llano Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 26.6% — 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 Llano Isd is typically wider than the Llano Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
