District-Level NCES Analysis
Redwater Isd operates 4 public schools serving 1,059 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 combined, 1 elementary, 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 Bowie County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,413 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 26.6% local, 65.3% state, and 8.2% 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 49/100, ranked #547 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 275.8:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 22.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.4% White, 4.5% Hispanic or Latino, 3.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Redwater Int, with a diversity index of 25.3/100.
Its largest campus is Redwater H S, enrolling 357 students (32% of the district's total enrollment).
Redwater H S accounts for 32.4% of all Redwater Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Redwater Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Redwater Isd school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Redwater Isd school enrollment ranges from 166 students (lowest) to 357 students (highest), a spread of 191 students.

Redwater Isd student-counselor ratio is 276:1 — 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 Redwater Isd is typically wider than the Redwater Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Redwater Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 22.9% — 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 Redwater Isd is typically wider than the Redwater Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
