What stands out about Jarrell ISD

  • Enrolment grew 77.2% here, from 1,896 students in FY2019 to 3,360 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $29,859 is among the highest in the nation.
