District-Level NCES Analysis

Ayersville Local operates 2 public schools serving 704 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 648 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Defiance County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,477 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 46.2% local, 44.6% state, and 9.2% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $74,077 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 44/100, ranked #446 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 324:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 25.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.7% White, 11.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.1% African American across the district's schools.

Ayersville High School accounts for 50.3% of all Ayersville Local student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Ayersville Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Ayersville Local student-counselor ratio is 324:1 — 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 Ayersville Local is typically wider than the Ayersville Local-aggregate figure suggests.

Ayersville Local chronic absenteeism rate is 25.9% — 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 Ayersville Local is typically wider than the Ayersville Local-aggregate figure suggests.
