Abstract | Recurrent catastrophic weather events on the Texas Gulf Coast led to the need to explore how Hurricane Harvey affected PK-12 education in the geographical area. Consequently, changes in student demographic characteristics and academic outcomes were correlated with 2018-2019 NERD$ finance data for Houston ISD and surrounding school districts. The study found that enrollment decreased at 10 out of the 21 school districts included in this evaluation pre-to-post Hurricane Harvey. The highest negative change occurred in Pasadena ISD (-5.3%) and the highest positive change was evident in Tomball ISD (+13.6%). While enrollment of Black, Hispanic, and homeless students did not increase significantly, there was a statistically significant decrease in the mean number of White students enrolled in the targeted school districts over time (M = 8565.05 vs. M = 8355.57, t = 2.330; Mean diff. = 209.476, p. = 0.030). No significant associations were found between per-pupil expenditures and academic outcomes; however, there was a strong, positive association between the change in reading and math passing rates, r = 0.863, n = 21, p < 0.000, pre-to post Hurricane Harvey. Houston ISD served as a proxy to analyze the data at the campus level. Pearson correlation found that the higher the campus average per-pupil expenditure for Houston ISD, the lower the change in enrollment and attendance (strong, negative association). Linear regression indicated that change in the attendance rate pre-to- post Hurricane Harvey made the strongest unique contribution toward explaining per-pupil expenditures in Houston ISD, R2 = 0.219, F(6, 215) = 9.795, p < 0.0001. Logistic regression revealed the odds that changes occurred in student enrollment, attendance, and the percentage of economically-disadvantaged students was less likely for Houston ISD campuses with per-pupil expenditures at or above the district average.
