District-Level NCES Analysis

MONAHANS-WICKETT-PYOTE ISD operates 6 public schools serving 2,197 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 2 high, 1 middle, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,181 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Ward County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $42,674 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 73.7% local, 14.4% state, and 12.0% 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 $83,638 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 60/100, ranked #328 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 326.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 19.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 70.3% Hispanic or Latino, 25.4% White, 2.7% African American across the district's schools.

Parkway El accounts for 29.6% of all MONAHANS-WICKETT-PYOTE ISD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means MONAHANS-WICKETT-PYOTE ISD-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.

MONAHANS-WICKETT-PYOTE ISD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 52.5% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015).

Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
