The district's equity score is 43/100, ranked #638 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.

Del Rio H S accounts for 24.6% of all San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd student enrollment
That concentration means San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd-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.
San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd school enrollment varies 19× across entities
San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd school enrollment ranges from 127 students (lowest) to 2,447 students (highest), a spread of 2,320 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 72.6% 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). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. 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.
San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd student-counselor ratio is 319:1 — 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 San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd is typically wider than the San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd-aggregate figure suggests.
San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd chronic absenteeism rate is 38.9% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
San Felipe-Del Rio Cisd has 14 schools, including 2 high, 2 middle, 5 combined, 5 elementary. Total enrollment is 9,947 students.
