District-Level NCES Analysis
Red Lick Isd operates 2 public schools serving 527 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary 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 $10,202 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 121 of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 47.2% local, 44.4% state, and 8.5% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 30/100, ranked #847 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 252:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 12.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.9% White, 6.2% Hispanic or Latino, 2.3% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Red Lick El, enrolling 270 students (54% of the district's total enrollment).
Red Lick El accounts for 51.2% of all Red Lick Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Red Lick Isd a distant remainder — means Red Lick Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Red Lick Isd student-counselor ratio is 252:1 — 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 Red Lick Isd is typically wider than the Red Lick Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Red Lick Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 12.1% — 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.
