District-Level NCES Analysis
Chapman operates 6 public schools serving 1,154 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 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 Dickinson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,398 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 286 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 25.3% local, 67.7% state, and 7.0% 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 37/100, ranked #193 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 271.1:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 20.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.7% White, 7.3% Hispanic or Latino, 2.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Enterprise Elem, with a diversity index of 33.5/100.
Its largest campus is Chapman High, enrolling 383 students (34% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Rural Center Elem, at 62 students, a 6x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Chapman High accounts for 33.2% of all Chapman student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Chapman-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.
Chapman school enrollment varies 6.2× across entities
Chapman school enrollment ranges from 62 students (lowest) to 383 students (highest), a spread of 321 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.
Chapman student-counselor ratio is 271:1 — 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 Chapman is typically wider than the Chapman-aggregate figure suggests.
Chapman chronic absenteeism rate is 20.1% — 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 Chapman is typically wider than the Chapman-aggregate figure suggests.
