District-Level NCES Analysis

Raymondville Isd operates 5 public schools serving 2,018 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Willacy County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,656 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 13.6% local, 52.1% state, and 34.2% 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 77/100, ranked #87 of 1047 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 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 325.8:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 50.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 98.2% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% White, 0.1% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Smith El, with a diversity index of 5.5/100.

Its largest campus is Pittman El, enrolling 561 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Raymondville Options Academic Academy, at 50 students, a 11x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Pittman El accounts for 27.8% of all Raymondville Isd student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Raymondville 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. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Raymondville Isd school enrollment varies 11× across entities

Raymondville Isd school enrollment ranges from 50 students (lowest) to 561 students (highest), a spread of 511 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Raymondville Isd reports 89.1% free-lunch eligibility

The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. 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.

Raymondville Isd student-counselor ratio is 326:1 — 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 Raymondville Isd is typically wider than the Raymondville Isd-aggregate figure suggests.

Source: NCES Civil Rights Data Collection

Raymondville Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 50.5% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)

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 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.
