District-Level NCES Analysis
Morton Isd operates 1 public schools serving 353 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,584 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 121 of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending.

Morton School accounts for 100.0% of all Morton Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Morton Isd a distant remainder — means Morton Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
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.
Morton Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 19.3% — 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 Morton Isd is typically wider than the Morton Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
