District-Level NCES Analysis
White Oak Isd operates 5 public schools serving 1,440 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 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 Gregg County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,241 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 26.1% local, 58.6% state, and 15.3% 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 32/100, ranked #818 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 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 474.2:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 21.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.2% White, 8.7% Hispanic or Latino, 2.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is White Oak Pri, with a diversity index of 35.2/100.
Its largest campus is White Oak H S, enrolling 406 students (28% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is White Oak Early Childhood Center, at 36 students, a 11x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
White Oak H S accounts for 27.7% of all White Oak Isd student enrollment
That dominant concentration means White Oak Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
White Oak Isd school enrollment varies 11× across entities
White Oak Isd school enrollment ranges from 36 students (lowest) to 406 students (highest), a spread of 370 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
White Oak Isd student-counselor ratio is 474:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
White Oak Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 21.3% — 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 White Oak Isd is typically wider than the White Oak Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
