District-Level NCES Analysis

Clarksville Community School Corp operates 4 public schools serving 4,027 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 elementary, 1 high 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 Clark County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $6,204 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 41 of 406 Indiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Indiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 27.6% local, 64.9% state, and 7.5% 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 14/100, ranked #367 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 764.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 28.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 56.2% White, 19.5% Hispanic or Latino, 12.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Clarksville Elementary School, with a diversity index of 66.7/100.

Its largest campus is Indiana Gateway Digital Academy, enrolling 5,318 students (78% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Clarksville Senior High School, at 412 students, a 13x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Indiana Gateway Digital Academy accounts for 78.1% of all Clarksville Community School Corp student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Clarksville Community School Corp a distant remainder — means Clarksville Community School Corp-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.

Clarksville Community School Corp has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 57.4% 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 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.

Clarksville Community School Corp student-counselor ratio is 764:1 — 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.

Clarksville Community School Corp chronic absenteeism rate is 28.8% — 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 Clarksville Community School Corp is typically wider than the Clarksville Community School Corp-aggregate figure suggests.
