District-Level NCES Analysis

PINEYWOODS COMMUNITY ACADEMY operates 3 public schools serving 997 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,061 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Angelina County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,129 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 2.5% local, 78.1% state, and 19.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 33/100, ranked #849 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 305.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 21.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 45.8% White, 32.2% Hispanic or Latino, 15.3% African American across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means PINEYWOODS COMMUNITY ACADEMY-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

PINEYWOODS COMMUNITY ACADEMY has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 52.1% 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 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.
