District-Level NCES Analysis

SABINE ISD operates 3 public schools serving 1,563 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 1,340 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Gregg County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,292 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 28.9% local, 55.0% state, and 16.1% 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 $79,693 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 37/100, ranked #764 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), and 17.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 67.1% White, 24.9% Hispanic or Latino, 3.0% African American across the district's schools.

Sabine El accounts for 46.1% of all SABINE ISD student enrollment

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

SABINE ISD school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities

SABINE ISD school enrollment ranges from 266 students (lowest) to 618 students (highest), a spread of 352 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio — most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

SABINE ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 17.1% — 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 SABINE ISD is typically wider than the SABINE ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
