District-Level NCES Analysis
Taylor Isd operates 8 public schools serving 3,138 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas.

These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Williamson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,158 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending.

The district's equity score is 29/100, ranked #861 of 1047 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 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (16 AP courses district-wide), a 347.4:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 30.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 53.3% Hispanic or Latino, 25.6% White, 18.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Legacy Early College H S, with a diversity index of 57.5/100.
Its largest campus is Taylor H S, enrolling 871 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Step-Core, at 1 students, a 871x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Taylor H S accounts for 27.8% of all Taylor Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Taylor Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Taylor Isd school enrollment varies 871× across entities
Taylor Isd school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 871 students (highest), a spread of 870 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.
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.
Taylor Isd student-counselor ratio is 347:1 — 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 Taylor Isd is typically wider than the Taylor Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Taylor Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 30.9% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
