District-Level NCES Analysis
Belpre City operates 3 public schools serving 898 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 elementary 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 Washington County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,038 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 42.9% local, 38.1% state, and 19.0% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 48/100, ranked #364 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 202.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 43.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.9% White, 1.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Belpre Elementary School, with a diversity index of 22.4/100.
Its largest campus is Belpre Elementary School, enrolling 484 students (54% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Belpre Blue Sky Academy, at 18 students, a 27x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Belpre Elementary School accounts for 53.9% of all Belpre City student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Belpre City a distant remainder — means Belpre City-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Belpre City school enrollment varies 27× across entities
Belpre City school enrollment ranges from 18 students (lowest) to 484 students (highest), a spread of 466 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Belpre City student-counselor ratio is 203:1 — 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.
Belpre City chronic absenteeism rate is 43.0% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Belpre City has 3 schools, including 1 elementary, 2 combined. Total enrollment is 898 students.
