The funding mix is 60.3% local, 30.2% state, and 9.5% 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.

a 322.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 19.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.3% African American, 9.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% White across the district's schools.

Texas Empowerment Academy accounts for 57.7% of all TEXAS EMPOWERMENT ACADEMY student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means TEXAS EMPOWERMENT ACADEMY-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.

TEXAS EMPOWERMENT ACADEMY has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 54.0% 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.
