District-Level NCES Analysis
Capac Community Schools operates 3 public schools serving 744 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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 St. Clair County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,511 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 812 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 28.3% local, 58.0% state, and 13.7% 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 70/100, ranked #73 of 702 in Michigan against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 66.8:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 22.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 84.5% White, 13.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Capac Jrsr High School, with a diversity index of 34.5/100.
Its largest campus is Capac Elementary School, enrolling 326 students (48% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Capac Virtual Education Program, at 57 students, a 6x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Capac Elementary School accounts for 43.8% of all Capac Community Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Capac Community Schools-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. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Capac Community Schools school enrollment varies 5.7× across entities
Capac Community Schools school enrollment ranges from 57 students (lowest) to 326 students (highest), a spread of 269 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.
Capac Community Schools reports 53.4% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Capac Community Schools student-counselor ratio is 67:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Capac Community Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 22.6% — 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 Capac Community Schools is typically wider than the Capac Community Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Capac Community Schools has 3 schools, including 3 combined. Total enrollment is 744 students.
