The funding mix is 63.7% local, 23.3% state, and 12.9% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 111:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 9.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 49.5% White, 43.2% Hispanic or Latino, 4.5% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Paint Creek School, enrolling 111 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).

Of the district's $6,555,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 18.9% went to instruction, 16% to support services, and 56.6% to capital outlay, a capital-heavy year, consistent with active construction, renovation, or major equipment purchases.

Paint Creek School accounts for 100.0% of all Paint Creek Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Paint Creek Isd a distant remainder — means Paint Creek 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.
Paint Creek Isd reports 62.0% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. 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.
Paint Creek Isd student-counselor ratio is 111:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Paint Creek Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 9.9% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Paint Creek Isd has 1 school, including 1 combined. Total enrollment is 100 students.
