VENUS ISD operates 5 public schools serving 2,319 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 other, 1 elementary, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,291 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Johnson County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,938 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 26.2% local, 57.4% state, and 16.4% 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. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $71,750 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 46/100, ranked #595 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Venus H S accounts for 31.3% of all VENUS ISD student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means VENUS ISD-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.
VENUS ISD school enrollment varies 90× across entities
VENUS ISD school enrollment ranges from 8 students (lowest) to 717 students (highest), a spread of 709 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.
VENUS ISD has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 66.1% 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.
VENUS ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 18.6% — 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 VENUS ISD is typically wider than the VENUS ISD-aggregate figure suggests.
