District-Level NCES Analysis
Winters Isd operates 4 public schools serving 561 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 combined, 1 middle 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 Runnels County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,547 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 25.0% local, 50.2% state, and 24.8% 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 85/100, ranked #39 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 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 458.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 32.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.5% Hispanic or Latino, 39.9% White, 0.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Winters El, with a diversity index of 53.1/100.
Its largest campus is Winters El, enrolling 334 students (61% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Winters/Fairview Aep, at 2 students, a 167x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Winters El accounts for 59.5% of all Winters Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Winters Isd a distant remainder — means Winters 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.

Winters Isd school enrollment ranges from 2 students (lowest) to 334 students (highest), a spread of 332 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 sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. 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.
Winters Isd student-counselor ratio is 459:1 — 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.
Winters Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 32.3% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
