District-Level NCES Analysis
Atlanta C-3 operates 2 public schools serving 203 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 combined 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 Macon County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,025 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 47.8% local, 36.1% state, and 16.1% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 63/100, ranked #125 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 100:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 19.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 95.3% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Atlanta Elem., enrolling 112 students (56% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses grew 3% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (203 to 209 students), while the student-teacher ratio held roughly steady, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $2,908,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 50.9% went to instruction, 35.1% to support services, and 7.6% to capital outlay, support-services-heavy relative to typical districts, reflecting spending on transportation, administration, or student services. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
Atlanta Elem. accounts for 55.2% of all Atlanta C-3 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Atlanta C-3 a distant remainder — means Atlanta C-3-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Atlanta C-3 student-counselor ratio is 100:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Atlanta C-3 chronic absenteeism rate is 19.5% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Atlanta C-3 is typically wider than the Atlanta C-3-aggregate figure suggests.
