District-Level NCES Analysis
Belmont-Harrison operates 2 public schools serving 381 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high 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 Belmont County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $22,068 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 99 of 981 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 40.7% local, 53.2% state, and 6.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 85/100, ranked #10 of 821 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.
a 218.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 39.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 97.9% White, 0.7% African American, 0.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Belmont Career Center, enrolling 344 students (79% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Harrison Career Center, at 93 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Belmont Career Center accounts for 78.7% of all Belmont-Harrison student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Belmont-Harrison a distant remainder — means Belmont-Harrison-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Belmont-Harrison student-counselor ratio is 219:1 — 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.
Belmont-Harrison chronic absenteeism rate is 39.3% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
