The largest campus is Whitehouse H S (1,404 students), and the largest elementary school is H L Higgins El (597).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 14.2:1, similar to the statewide school median of 14.5:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 45% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
