The state and your school
provide extra resources to students who need support outside of the
mainstream classroom and qualify for special programs or services.
Below are enrollment counts spanning categories from economically
disadvantaged to dropout risk to gifted and talented. Students may
be counted in more than one category, and each count is shown as a
percentage of the school’s overall enrollment.
Why this matters
The number of
students counted within each of the categories below determines how
much additional state funding a school district receives beyond the
base amount of $6,215 per student. The state provides the funding
boost out of recognition that students in certain groups — like
those learning English or navigating dyslexia — may need specialized
support.

Immigrant and migratory student populations
Texas is home to
the largest interstate migrant population in the U.S. Children are
counted as migratory if they are 21 and younger and moved across
school district boundaries in the preceding 36 months. Students are
counted as immigrants if they are between 3 and 21 years old, have
not been attending school in the U.S. for more than three full
academic years, and were not born in any U.S. state, Puerto Rico, or
the District of Columbia. The state does not consider U.S.
citizenship when identifying students as immigrants in public school
enrollment data.
