District-Level NCES Analysis

REAGAN COUNTY ISD operates 3 public schools serving 801 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 855 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Reagan County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $66,271 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 85.5% local, 4.6% state, and 9.9% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $106,552 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 74/100, ranked #92 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 285:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 23.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.3% Hispanic or Latino, 14.0% White, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools.

Reagan County El accounts for 52.4% of all REAGAN COUNTY ISD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means REAGAN COUNTY ISD-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.

REAGAN COUNTY ISD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 50.5% 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.
