District-Level NCES Analysis
West Oso Isd operates 5 public schools serving 1,929 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 middle, 1 elementary, 1 high, 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 $13,017 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1207 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 38.3% local, 38.7% state, and 22.9% 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 58/100, ranked #374 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 306.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 46.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.6% Hispanic or Latino, 7.7% African American, 2.1% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Kennedy El, with a diversity index of 25.6/100.
Its largest campus is West Oso El, enrolling 532 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is West Oso Isd Jjaep, at 1 students, a 532x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
West Oso El accounts for 27.6% of all West Oso Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means West Oso Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
West Oso Isd school enrollment varies 532× across entities
West Oso Isd school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 532 students (highest), a spread of 531 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.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
West Oso Isd student-counselor ratio is 306:1 — 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 West Oso Isd is typically wider than the West Oso Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
West Oso Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 46.5% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
West Oso Isd has 5 schools, including 1 elementary, 1 high, 2 middle, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 1,929 students.
