District-Level NCES Analysis
Silsbee Isd operates 4 public schools serving 2,772 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined 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 Hardin County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,407 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

The district's equity score is 47/100, ranked #580 of 1047 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 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 328:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 26.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 65.8% White, 17.7% African American, 9.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Edwards-Johnson Memorial Middle, with a diversity index of 53.8/100.
Its largest campus is Silsbee El, enrolling 921 students (36% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Laura Reeves Pri, at 281 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Silsbee El accounts for 33.2% of all Silsbee Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Silsbee Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Silsbee Isd school enrollment varies 3.3× across entities
Silsbee Isd school enrollment ranges from 281 students (lowest) to 921 students (highest), a spread of 640 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.
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Silsbee Isd student-counselor ratio is 328:1 — 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 Silsbee Isd is typically wider than the Silsbee Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Silsbee Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 26.6% — 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 Silsbee Isd is typically wider than the Silsbee Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
