District-Level NCES Analysis
Buckeye Local operates 4 public schools serving 2,240 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Medina County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,046 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 68.6% local, 24.9% state, and 6.5% 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 13/100, ranked #790 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 448:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 17.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.3% White, 3.5% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Buckeye Primary School, with a diversity index of 23.2/100.
Its largest campus is Buckeye High School, enrolling 636 students (30% of the district's total enrollment).
Buckeye High School accounts for 28.4% of all Buckeye Local student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Buckeye Local-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.
Buckeye Local school enrollment varies 2.0× across entities
Buckeye Local school enrollment ranges from 312 students (lowest) to 636 students (highest), a spread of 324 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Buckeye Local student-counselor ratio is 448:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Buckeye Local chronic absenteeism rate is 17.3% — 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 Buckeye Local is typically wider than the Buckeye Local-aggregate figure suggests.
Buckeye Local has 4 schools, including 1 high, 2 elementary, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 2,240 students.
