District-Level NCES Analysis
Centralia R-Vi operates 4 public schools serving 1,330 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 combined, 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 Boone County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,055 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 56 of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending.

The funding mix is 53.3% local, 33.3% state, and 13.5% 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 14/100, ranked #427 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

That dominant concentration means Centralia R-Vi-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Centralia R-Vi student-counselor ratio is 286:1 — 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 Centralia R-Vi is typically wider than the Centralia R-Vi-aggregate figure suggests.
Centralia R-Vi chronic absenteeism rate is 15.4% — 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 Centralia R-Vi is typically wider than the Centralia R-Vi-aggregate figure suggests.
