District-Level NCES Analysis
Nederland Isd operates 7 public schools serving 5,029 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 2 elementary, 1 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 Jefferson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,419 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 60.6% local, 25.1% state, and 14.4% 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 23/100, ranked #940 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 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (10 AP courses district-wide), a 499.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 19.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 45.8% White, 33.5% Hispanic or Latino, 8.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Central Middle, with a diversity index of 69.8/100.
Its largest campus is Nederland H S, enrolling 1,500 students (28% of the district's total enrollment).
Nederland H S accounts for 28.2% of all Nederland Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Nederland 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.
Nederland Isd school enrollment varies 2.7× across entities
Nederland Isd school enrollment ranges from 547 students (lowest) to 1,500 students (highest), a spread of 953 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Nederland Isd student-counselor ratio is 499:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Nederland Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 19.2% — 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 Nederland Isd is typically wider than the Nederland Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Nederland Isd has 7 schools, including 1 high, 4 combined, 2 elementary. Total enrollment is 5,029 students.
