District-Level NCES Analysis
Caswell County Schools operates 6 public schools serving 2,250 students, placing it among the smallest districts in North Carolina. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 elementary 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 Caswell County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,976 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 322 North Carolina districts by per-pupil spending. See how North Carolina compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 10.9% local, 65.1% state, and 24.1% 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 78/100, ranked #24 of 293 in North Carolina against a state average of 45, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 260.8:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 49.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 46.2% White, 34.2% African American, 12.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Stoney Creek Elementary, with a diversity index of 64.8/100.
Its largest campus is Bartlett Yancey High, enrolling 635 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Stoney Creek Elementary, at 140 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Bartlett Yancey High accounts for 28.2% of all Caswell County Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Caswell County Schools-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.
Caswell County Schools school enrollment varies 4.5× across entities
Caswell County Schools school enrollment ranges from 140 students (lowest) to 635 students (highest), a spread of 495 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.
Caswell County Schools has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 87.0% 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.
Caswell County Schools student-counselor ratio is 261:1 — 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 Caswell County Schools is typically wider than the Caswell County Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Caswell County Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 49.8% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Caswell County Schools has 6 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 3 combined, 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 2,250 students.
