District-Level NCES Analysis
Trinity Charter School operates 10 public schools serving 320 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 9 combined, 1 high 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 Travis County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $22,637 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 121 of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 1.1% local, 73.9% state, and 25.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 97/100, ranked #2 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 74.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 21.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 48.0% Hispanic or Latino, 34.9% White, 15.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Trinity Charter Schools - Big Sandy Campus, with a diversity index of 64.8/100.
Trinity Charter Schools - Lockhart Campus accounts for 41.9% of all Trinity Charter School student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Trinity Charter School-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Trinity Charter School school enrollment varies 134× across entities
Trinity Charter School school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 134 students (highest), a spread of 133 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.
Trinity Charter School has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 92.1% 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). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding 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.
Trinity Charter School student-counselor ratio is 75:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Trinity Charter School chronic absenteeism rate is 21.9% — 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 Trinity Charter School is typically wider than the Trinity Charter School-aggregate figure suggests.
Trinity Charter School has 10 schools, including 9 combined, 1 high. Total enrollment is 320 students.
