District-Level NCES Analysis

SHARYLAND ISD operates 13 public schools serving 9,732 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 8 other, 3 high, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 9,844 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Hidalgo County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,776 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 35.0% local, 43.9% state, and 21.0% 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 $77,724 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 28/100, ranked #902 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 3 of 13 schools offering Advanced Placement (62 AP courses district-wide), a 333.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 23.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 93.1% Hispanic or Latino, 4.4% White, 1.3% Asian across the district's schools.

Sharyland H S accounts for 15.5% of all SHARYLAND ISD student enrollment

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

SHARYLAND ISD school enrollment varies 3.2× across entities

SHARYLAND ISD school enrollment ranges from 472 students (lowest) to 1,527 students (highest), a spread of 1,055 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.

SHARYLAND ISD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 62.2% 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.

SHARYLAND ISD student-counselor ratio is 333:1 — 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 SHARYLAND ISD is typically wider than the SHARYLAND ISD-aggregate figure suggests.

SHARYLAND ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 23.0% — 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 SHARYLAND ISD is typically wider than the SHARYLAND ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
