District-Level NCES Analysis
Red Oak Isd operates 8 public schools serving 6,499 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Ellis County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,825 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 45.1% local, 43.2% state, and 11.7% 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 22/100, ranked #952 of 1047 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (21 AP courses district-wide), a 523.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 20.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 50.0% Hispanic or Latino, 30.7% African American, 15.1% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Shields El, with a diversity index of 67.8/100.
Its largest campus is Red Oak H S, enrolling 2,297 students (34% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Ellis Co Jjaep, at 1 students, a 2297x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Red Oak H S accounts for 34.3% of all Red Oak Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Red Oak Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Red Oak Isd school enrollment varies 2297× across entities
Red Oak Isd school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 2,297 students (highest), a spread of 2,296 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
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.
Red Oak Isd student-counselor ratio is 524:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Red Oak Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 20.0% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Red Oak Isd is typically wider than the Red Oak Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
