District-Level NCES Analysis

Battle Ground School District operates 21 public schools serving 12,393 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 11 other, 7 elementary, 3 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 12,450 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Clark County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,486 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 20.9% local, 67.8% state, and 11.3% 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 $87,580 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 21/100, ranked #228 of 240 in Washington against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 4 of 21 schools offering Advanced Placement (28 AP courses district-wide), a 547.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 17.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 76.1% White, 12.6% Hispanic or Latino, 2.7% Asian across the district's schools.

Battle Ground School District student-counselor ratio is 548:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

Battle Ground School District chronic absenteeism rate is 17.2% — 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 Battle Ground School District is typically wider than the Battle Ground School District-aggregate figure suggests.
