What this school's NCES data tells you
Mcmullen County School reports 280 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 27.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 10.4:1 student-teacher ratio.

Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 35% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
