District-Level NCES Analysis

School of Science and Technology operates 7 public schools serving 4,315 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 $11,072 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 2.6% local, 82.6% state, and 14.9% 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 37/100, ranked #730 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (15 AP courses district-wide), and 25.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 64.9% Hispanic or Latino, 15.1% African American, 13.5% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Sst Schertz, with a diversity index of 62.2/100.

Its largest campus is Sst Champions, enrolling 1,660 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Sst Excellence, at 186 students, a 9x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Sst Champions accounts for 29.6% of all School of Science and Technology student enrollment

That dominant concentration means School of Science and Technology-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 school enrollment varies 8.9× across entities

School of Science and Technology school enrollment ranges from 186 students (lowest) to 1,660 students (highest), a spread of 1,474 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. 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 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 53.2% 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 chronic absenteeism rate is 25.4% — 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 is typically wider than the School of Science and Technology-aggregate figure suggests.
