District-Level NCES Analysis
Batavia Usd 101 operates 8 public schools serving 5,260 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Illinois. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Kane County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,437 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 848 Illinois districts by per-pupil spending. See how Illinois compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 71.1% local, 23.9% state, and 5.0% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 28/100, ranked #592 of 763 in Illinois against a state average of 38, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (17 AP courses district-wide), a 349:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 9.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 73.9% White, 14.7% Hispanic or Latino, 4.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is J B Nelson Elem School, with a diversity index of 53.7/100.
Its largest campus is Batavia Sr High School, enrolling 1,690 students (32% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Hoover Wood Elem School, at 363 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Batavia Sr High School accounts for 32.1% of all Batavia Usd 101 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Batavia Usd 101-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.
Batavia Usd 101 school enrollment varies 4.7× across entities
Batavia Usd 101 school enrollment ranges from 363 students (lowest) to 1,690 students (highest), a spread of 1,327 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Batavia Usd 101 student-counselor ratio is 349:1 — 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 Batavia Usd 101 is typically wider than the Batavia Usd 101-aggregate figure suggests.
Batavia Usd 101 chronic absenteeism rate is 9.9% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
