District-Level NCES Analysis
New Boston Isd operates 3 public schools serving 1,154 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 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 Bowie County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,689 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 33.7% local, 58.3% state, and 8.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 74/100, ranked #125 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 369.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 30.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.7% White, 23.6% African American, 9.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Crestview El, with a diversity index of 63.0/100.
Its largest campus is Crestview El, enrolling 544 students (49% of the district's total enrollment).
Crestview El accounts for 47.1% of all New Boston Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of New Boston Isd a distant remainder — means New Boston Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
New Boston Isd school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities
New Boston Isd school enrollment ranges from 240 students (lowest) to 544 students (highest), a spread of 304 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.
New Boston Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 72.6% 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). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. 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.
New Boston Isd student-counselor ratio is 369:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
New Boston Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 30.2% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
New Boston Isd has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,154 students.
