VALERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS operates 4 public schools serving 970 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 871 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Travis County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,361 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 0.8% local, 75.2% state, and 24.0% 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. The district's equity score — 42/100, ranked #669 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 237.3:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 46.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.9% Hispanic or Latino, 2.5% African American, 1.6% White across the district's schools.
Promesa College Prep West Corpus Christi accounts for 41.1% of all VALERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means VALERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS-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.
VALERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities
VALERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS school enrollment ranges from 159 students (lowest) to 358 students (highest), a spread of 199 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.
VALERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 86.7% 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 — including this one — 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.
VALERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS student-counselor ratio is 237:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
VALERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS chronic absenteeism rate is 46.0% — 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.
VALERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS has 4 schools, including 4 other. Total enrollment is 970 students.
