District-Level NCES Analysis
Brunswick R-Ii operates 2 public schools serving 269 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Chariton County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,416 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 61.7% local, 21.7% state, and 16.6% 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 64/100, ranked #111 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 255:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 2.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.0% White, 3.3% African American, 0.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Brunswick Elem., enrolling 135 students (53% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses grew 4.1% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (269 to 280 students), while the student-teacher ratio held roughly steady, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $5,156,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 44.6% went to instruction, 27.2% to support services, and 20.7% to capital outlay, a capital-heavy year, consistent with active construction, renovation, or major equipment purchases. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
Brunswick Elem. accounts for 50.2% of all Brunswick R-Ii student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Brunswick R-Ii a distant remainder — means Brunswick R-Ii-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.
Brunswick R-Ii student-counselor ratio is 255:1 — 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 Brunswick R-Ii is typically wider than the Brunswick R-Ii-aggregate figure suggests.
Brunswick R-Ii chronic absenteeism rate is 2.8% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
