District-Level NCES Analysis
Chattahoochee County operates 3 public schools serving 970 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Georgia. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 combined, 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 Chattahoochee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,184 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 219 Georgia districts by per-pupil spending. See how Georgia compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 20.9% local, 55.0% 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 42/100, ranked #138 of 216 in Georgia against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 537.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 15.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 48.1% White, 29.4% African American, 13.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Chattahoochee County High School, with a diversity index of 69.2/100.
Chattahoochee County High School accounts for 47.8% of all Chattahoochee County student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Chattahoochee County a distant remainder — means Chattahoochee County-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.
Chattahoochee County school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities
Chattahoochee County school enrollment ranges from 199 students (lowest) to 464 students (highest), a spread of 265 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.
Chattahoochee County has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 65.3% 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). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. 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.
Chattahoochee County student-counselor ratio is 537:1 — 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.
Chattahoochee County chronic absenteeism rate is 15.3% — 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 Chattahoochee County is typically wider than the Chattahoochee County-aggregate figure suggests.
