Transfers in are students who live elsewhere and attend here; transfers out are students who live here and attend another public district or charter. This shaded balance layer covers geographic districts only; charter campus points are locations and do not receive a balance. A transfer does not say why a student attends elsewhere.
What this map draws, and what it leaves out
Boundaries are the Census Bureau's TIGER/Line school district polygons, which NCES republishes as EDGE, joined to TEA's districts through the NCES Common Core of Data. The shapes are simplified for the web, so a boundary here is close to but not exactly the legal line; the archived file and the command that produced it are recorded in the repository.
Four rated districts have no boundary to draw: South Texas ISD is a magnet district with no contiguous territory, Vysehrad ISD is folded into a neighbour by the Census, and Texas Tech University K-12 and University of Texas at Austin HS enroll from across the state.
Boundary shading covers geographic school-district territories. Open-enrollment charter school systems have no attendance boundary, so physical campuses are shown as locations, not district polygons; this map does not treat them as a resident-assigned district. Charter points are not part of the shaded district totals. TEA marks 6 charter campus records as online; they are omitted from the point layer because a mailing address is not a physical campus location.
