District-Level NCES Analysis
Taylor Isd operates 8 public schools serving 3,138 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 high, 2 middle, 2 elementary, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. 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 $12,582 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 47.3% local, 33.4% state, and 19.4% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 36/100, ranked #750 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 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 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.
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.
Taylor Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 56.6% 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.
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.
Taylor Isd has 8 schools, including 3 high, 2 middle, 2 elementary, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 3,138 students.
