District-Level NCES Analysis
Beachwood City operates 5 public schools serving 1,580 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 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 Cuyahoga County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $22,312 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 97 of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 84.3% local, 9.4% state, and 6.3% 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 66/100, ranked #105 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (24 AP courses district-wide), a 224.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 21.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 42.3% White, 21.9% Asian, 21.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Bryden Elementary School, with a diversity index of 74.7/100.
Its largest campus is Beachwood High School, enrolling 620 students (39% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Fairmount Early Childhood Center, at 76 students, a 8x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Beachwood High School accounts for 39.2% of all Beachwood City student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Beachwood City-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.
Beachwood City school enrollment varies 8.2× across entities
Beachwood City school enrollment ranges from 76 students (lowest) to 620 students (highest), a spread of 544 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Beachwood City student-counselor ratio is 225:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Beachwood City chronic absenteeism rate is 21.1% — 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 Beachwood City is typically wider than the Beachwood City-aggregate figure suggests.
Beachwood City has 5 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 2 elementary, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 1,580 students.
