District-Level NCES Analysis
School of Science and Technology Discovery operates 7 public schools serving 5,644 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 combined, 1 elementary 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 Bexar County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,485 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 2.3% local, 84.3% state, and 13.5% 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 47/100, ranked #574 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.
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. Its most demographically mixed campus is Sst Sugarland, with a diversity index of 64.1/100.
Its largest campus is Sst Corpus Christi, enrolling 2,343 students (42% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Sst Online Academy, at 11 students, a 213x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Sst Corpus Christi accounts for 41.5% of all School of Science and Technology Discovery student enrollment
That dominant concentration means School of Science and Technology Discovery-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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 school enrollment varies 213× across entities
School of Science and Technology Discovery school enrollment ranges from 11 students (lowest) to 2,343 students (highest), a spread of 2,332 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.
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.
