District-Level NCES Analysis
Alliance Public Schools operates 5 public schools serving 1,345 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Nebraska. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Box Butte County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,680 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 244 Nebraska districts by per-pupil spending.

That dominant concentration means Alliance Public Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Alliance Public Schools school enrollment varies 5.8× across entities
Alliance Public Schools school enrollment ranges from 78 students (lowest) to 451 students (highest), a spread of 373 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Alliance Public Schools student-counselor ratio is 252:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Alliance Public Schools is typically wider than the Alliance Public Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Alliance Public Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 44.7% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Alliance Public Schools has 5 schools, including 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle, 2 combined. Total enrollment is 1,345 students.
