District-Level NCES Analysis
Woodson Isd operates 1 public schools serving 162 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 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 Throckmorton County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,710 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 14.9% local, 70.8% state, and 14.3% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
a 809.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 14.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 78.7% White, 18.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Woodson School, enrolling 178 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses grew 8.6% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (162 to 176 students), while the student-teacher ratio held roughly steady, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $3,277,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 52.6% went to instruction, 31.6% to support services, and 11% to capital outlay, a fairly typical instruction/support/capital split for a public school district.

Woodson School accounts for 100.0% of all Woodson Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Woodson Isd a distant remainder — means Woodson 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.
Woodson Isd student-counselor ratio is 809:1 — 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.
Woodson Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 14.6% — 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.
