District-Level NCES Analysis
Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Isd operates 6 public schools serving 2,197 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 2 high, 1 middle, 1 combined 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 Ward County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,816 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 73.7% local, 14.4% state, and 12.0% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 36/100, ranked #751 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 326.8:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, 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. Its most demographically mixed campus is Parkway El, with a diversity index of 48.9/100.
Its largest campus is Parkway El, enrolling 646 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Monahans Ed Ctr, at 8 students, a 81x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Parkway El accounts for 29.4% of all Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration 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 school enrollment varies 81× across entities
Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Isd school enrollment ranges from 8 students (lowest) to 646 students (highest), a spread of 638 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.
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). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. 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.
Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Isd student-counselor ratio is 327:1 — 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 Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Isd is typically wider than the Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 19.7% — 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 Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Isd is typically wider than the Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
