District-Level NCES Analysis
Miles Isd operates 4 public schools serving 512 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 2 high 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 Runnels County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,643 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 20.7% local, 66.1% state, and 13.2% 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 60/100, ranked #361 of 1044 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 122.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 9.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.4% Hispanic or Latino, 40.1% White, 1.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Miles El, with a diversity index of 52.0/100.
Its largest campus is Miles El, enrolling 269 students (55% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Fairview Daep, at 1 students, a 269x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Miles El accounts for 52.5% of all Miles Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Miles Isd a distant remainder — means Miles Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Miles Isd school enrollment varies 269× across entities
Miles Isd school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 269 students (highest), a spread of 268 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.
Miles Isd student-counselor ratio is 122:1 — 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.
Miles Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 9.6% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
