District-Level NCES Analysis
Veribest Isd operates 3 public schools serving 258 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high 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 Tom Green County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,442 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 46.4% local, 38.5% state, and 15.1% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 67/100, ranked #251 of 1047 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 261:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 12.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 53.7% White, 44.0% Hispanic or Latino, 1.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Veribest H S, with a diversity index of 53.2/100.
Its largest campus is Veribest H S, enrolling 141 students (54% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Fairview Accelerated, at 2 students, a 71x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Veribest H S accounts for 53.6% of all Veribest Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Veribest Isd a distant remainder — means Veribest Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Veribest Isd school enrollment varies 71× across entities
Veribest Isd school enrollment ranges from 2 students (lowest) to 141 students (highest), a spread of 139 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.
Veribest Isd student-counselor ratio is 261:1 — 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 Veribest Isd is typically wider than the Veribest Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
Veribest Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 12.8% — 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.
