District-Level NCES Analysis

Lytle Isd operates 5 public schools serving 1,810 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Atascosa County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,096 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 24.3% local, 56.1% state, and 19.6% 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 45/100, ranked #619 of 1047 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 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 386.1:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 25.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 83.7% Hispanic or Latino, 10.8% White, 3.8% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Lytle H S, with a diversity index of 31.4/100.

Its largest campus is Lytle El, enrolling 532 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Lytle Daep, at 6 students, a 89x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Lytle El accounts for 29.2% of all Lytle Isd student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Lytle Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.

Lytle Isd school enrollment varies 89× across entities

Lytle Isd school enrollment ranges from 6 students (lowest) to 532 students (highest), a spread of 526 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Lytle Isd reports 69.4% 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.

Lytle Isd student-counselor ratio is 386:1 — 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.

Lytle Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 25.7% — 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 Lytle Isd is typically wider than the Lytle Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
