See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 1.3% local, 50.0% state, and 48.7% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
a 22.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 55.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 65.3% Hispanic or Latino, 19.4% White, 13.9% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Oaks Academy, enrolling 36 students (80% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Stepping Stones Academy, at 9 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Oaks Academy accounts for 52.9% of all Meadowland Charter District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Meadowland Charter District a distant remainder — means Meadowland Charter District-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.
Meadowland Charter District reports 86.8% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. 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.
Meadowland Charter District student-counselor ratio is 23:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Meadowland Charter District chronic absenteeism rate is 55.5% — 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.
