District-Level NCES Analysis

STANTON ISD operates 3 public schools serving 1,081 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,062 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Martin County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $33,420 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 88.7% local, 4.8% state, and 6.5% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $91,115 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 66/100, ranked #219 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 354:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 25.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 71.7% Hispanic or Latino, 25.7% White, 0.8% African American across the district's schools.

Stanton El accounts for 45.5% of all STANTON ISD student enrollment

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

STANTON ISD student-counselor ratio is 354:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

STANTON ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 25.8% — 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 STANTON ISD is typically wider than the STANTON ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
