District-Level NCES Analysis
Navasota Isd operates 6 public schools serving 2,977 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 2 high, 1 middle 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 Grimes County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,706 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 59.1% local, 22.4% state, and 18.5% 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 41/100, ranked #668 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 305.9:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 21.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 54.8% Hispanic or Latino, 23.0% White, 18.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is W B Bizzell Academy, with a diversity index of 71.7/100.
Its largest campus is Navasota H S, enrolling 919 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is W B Bizzell Academy, at 9 students, a 102x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Navasota H S accounts for 29.5% of all Navasota Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Navasota Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Navasota Isd school enrollment varies 102× across entities
Navasota Isd school enrollment ranges from 9 students (lowest) to 919 students (highest), a spread of 910 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.
Navasota Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 79.0% 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 — including this one — 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.
Navasota Isd student-counselor ratio is 306:1 — 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 Navasota Isd is typically wider than the Navasota Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Navasota Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 21.9% — 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 Navasota Isd is typically wider than the Navasota Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
