District-Level NCES Analysis

White Settlement Isd operates 9 public schools serving 6,972 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 3 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Tarrant County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,167 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 121 of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 43.9% local, 41.2% state, and 14.9% 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 19/100, ranked #980 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 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 621.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 40.5% Hispanic or Latino, 36.1% White, 16.1% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Blue Haze El, with a diversity index of 70.1/100.

Its largest campus is Brewer H S, enrolling 2,113 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Tarrant Co J J a E P, at 2 students, a 1057x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Brewer H S accounts for 27.1% of all White Settlement Isd student enrollment

That dominant concentration means White Settlement 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 Settlement Isd school enrollment ranges from 2 students (lowest) to 2,113 students (highest), a spread of 2,111 students.

White Settlement Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 52.8% 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.

White Settlement Isd student-counselor ratio is 621:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)

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 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.

White Settlement Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 24.9% — 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 Settlement Isd is typically wider than the White Settlement Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
