District-Level NCES Analysis
Ume Preparatory Academy operates 4 public schools serving 1,493 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 2 elementary 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 Dallas County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $8,711 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 121 of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 4.4% local, 90.2% state, and 5.4% 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 26/100, ranked #908 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 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 270:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 14.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 48.4% Hispanic or Latino, 30.7% White, 13.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Ume Mansfield El, with a diversity index of 68.7/100.
Its largest campus is Ume Dallas Secondary, enrolling 688 students (40% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Ume Mansfield El, at 217 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Ume Dallas Secondary accounts for 40.4% of all Ume Preparatory Academy student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Ume Preparatory Academy-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.
Ume Preparatory Academy school enrollment varies 3.2× across entities
Ume Preparatory Academy school enrollment ranges from 217 students (lowest) to 688 students (highest), a spread of 471 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Ume Preparatory Academy student-counselor ratio is 270:1 — 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 Ume Preparatory Academy is typically wider than the Ume Preparatory Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Ume Preparatory Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 14.8% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Ume Preparatory Academy has 4 schools, including 2 combined, 2 elementary. Total enrollment is 1,493 students.
