District-Level NCES Analysis
Carlisle Local operates 4 public schools serving 1,584 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary, 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 Warren County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,020 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 48.0% local, 41.9% state, and 10.1% 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 44/100, ranked #428 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 608.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 30.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.8% White, 4.0% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Carlisle Primary Elementary School, with a diversity index of 19.1/100.
Carlisle Primary Elementary School accounts for 33.2% of all Carlisle Local student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Carlisle Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Carlisle Local school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Carlisle Local school enrollment ranges from 242 students (lowest) to 526 students (highest), a spread of 284 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.
Carlisle Local student-counselor ratio is 609:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Carlisle Local chronic absenteeism rate is 30.9% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Carlisle Local has 4 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,584 students.
