District-Level NCES Analysis
Concordia operates 3 public schools serving 1,131 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 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 Cloud County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,698 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 285 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 34.4% local, 54.9% state, and 10.6% 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 60/100, ranked #86 of 250 in Kansas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 221:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 17.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 88.7% White, 6.5% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Concordia Elementary, with a diversity index of 23.9/100.
Its largest campus is Concordia Jr-Sr High, enrolling 524 students (46% of the district's total enrollment).
Concordia Jr-Sr High accounts for 45.6% of all Concordia student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Concordia a distant remainder — means Concordia-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.
Concordia school enrollment varies 3.0× across entities
Concordia school enrollment ranges from 177 students (lowest) to 524 students (highest), a spread of 347 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.
Concordia student-counselor ratio is 221:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Concordia chronic absenteeism rate is 17.0% — 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 Concordia is typically wider than the Concordia-aggregate figure suggests.
