MIDWAY ISD operates 1 public schools serving 131 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 137 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Clay County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $26,916 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 47.2% local, 42.1% state, and 10.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $124,695 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
a 274:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 16.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.2% White, 5.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Midway School accounts for 100.0% of all MIDWAY ISD student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means MIDWAY ISD-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
MIDWAY ISD student-counselor ratio is 274:1 — 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 MIDWAY ISD is typically wider than the MIDWAY ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
MIDWAY ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 16.8% — 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 MIDWAY ISD is typically wider than the MIDWAY ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
