District-Level NCES Analysis

SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY operates 7 public schools serving 5,644 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 other, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 5,583 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Bexar County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,485 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 2.3% local, 84.3% state, and 13.5% 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. The district's equity score — 40/100, ranked #702 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (10 AP courses district-wide), and 19.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 59.4% Hispanic or Latino, 22.0% African American, 9.1% White across the district's schools.

Sst Corpus Christi accounts for 42.0% of all SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY-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.

SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 50.5% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. 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.

SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY chronic absenteeism rate is 19.8% — 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 SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY is typically wider than the SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY-aggregate figure suggests.
