District-Level NCES Analysis
Mexia Isd operates 5 public schools serving 1,864 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary, 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 Limestone County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,723 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 22.1% local, 54.7% state, and 23.2% 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 75/100, ranked #107 of 1047 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 315.7:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 31.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 47.0% Hispanic or Latino, 25.4% African American, 22.0% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Mexia J H, with a diversity index of 67.4/100.
Its largest campus is Mexia H S, enrolling 535 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Developmental Ctr, at 18 students, a 30x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Mexia H S accounts for 28.7% of all Mexia Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Mexia Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Mexia Isd school enrollment varies 30× across entities
Mexia Isd school enrollment ranges from 18 students (lowest) to 535 students (highest), a spread of 517 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
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.
Mexia Isd student-counselor ratio is 316:1 — 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 Mexia Isd is typically wider than the Mexia Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Mexia Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 31.4% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
