District-Level NCES Analysis

Conecuh County operates 7 public schools serving 1,487 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Alabama. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 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 Conecuh County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,896 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 15 of 146 Alabama districts by per-pupil spending. See how Alabama compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 20.9% local, 62.5% state, and 16.6% 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 83/100, ranked #6 of 146 in Alabama against a state average of 51, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

a 188.1:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 16.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 67.5% African American, 24.4% White, 4.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Genesis Innovative School, with a diversity index of 57.2/100.

Its largest campus is Evergreen Elementary School, enrolling 342 students (25% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Lyeffion Junior High School, at 85 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Evergreen Elementary School accounts for 23.0% of all Conecuh County student enrollment

That concentration means Conecuh County-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.

Conecuh County has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 76.0% 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 — including this one — 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.

Conecuh County student-counselor ratio is 188:1 — 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.

Conecuh County chronic absenteeism rate is 16.3% — 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 Conecuh County is typically wider than the Conecuh County-aggregate figure suggests.
