District-Level NCES Analysis

Basehor-Linwood operates 7 public schools serving 3,043 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,092 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Leavenworth County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,392 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 37.0% local, 56.7% state, and 6.3% 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 $73,811 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 17/100, ranked #246 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 320.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 15.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.6% White, 13.2% Hispanic or Latino, 2.0% African American across the district's schools.

Basehor-Linwood High School accounts for 28.5% of all Basehor-Linwood student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Basehor-Linwood-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
