Against 309 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #95.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (65%) and White (29%) (diversity index 49/100).
Counselor coverage is strong, about 133 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 28.6% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
The surrounding Wilson Isd spends $18,961 per pupil, 39% above the Texas average, a better-resourced district than most.
Its district draws 16.9% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
