BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT operates 3 public schools serving 1,344 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Arkansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,355 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Logan County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,740 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 24.1% local, 52.8% state, and 23.1% 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 $56,067 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 50/100, ranked #122 of 250 in Arkansas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 270:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 7.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.8% White, 5.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools.
Booneville Elementary School accounts for 58.4% of all BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.
BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT school enrollment varies 3.0× across entities
BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT school enrollment ranges from 265 students (lowest) to 791 students (highest), a spread of 526 students.

BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 100.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT student-counselor ratio is 270:1 — 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 BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT is typically wider than the BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT-aggregate figure suggests.
BOONEVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT chronic absenteeism rate is 7.1% — 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.
