District-Level NCES Analysis
Tuloso-Midway Isd operates 5 public schools serving 3,655 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Nueces County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,914 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 70.4% local, 13.0% state, and 16.6% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 40/100, ranked #688 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 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (13 AP courses district-wide), a 289.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 40.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 83.7% Hispanic or Latino, 14.3% White, 0.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Tuloso-Midway Middle, with a diversity index of 31.6/100.
Its largest campus is Tuloso-Midway H S, enrolling 1,079 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Tuloso-Midway Academic Career Center, at 32 students, a 34x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Tuloso-Midway H S accounts for 29.4% of all Tuloso-Midway Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Tuloso-Midway 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.
Tuloso-Midway Isd school enrollment varies 34× across entities
Tuloso-Midway Isd school enrollment ranges from 32 students (lowest) to 1,079 students (highest), a spread of 1,047 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Tuloso-Midway Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 62.1% 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). 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.
Tuloso-Midway Isd student-counselor ratio is 290:1 — 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 Tuloso-Midway Isd is typically wider than the Tuloso-Midway Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Tuloso-Midway Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 40.8% — 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.
