Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 8,960 scored Texas schools.
Among 52 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Texas schools statewide, it ranks #41, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

The surrounding Ramirez Csd spends $31,615 per pupil, 132% above the Texas average, a better-resourced district than most.
Its district draws 23.2% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
