District-Level NCES Analysis
Cornerstone Academy Community School operates 1 public schools serving 988 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined 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 Franklin County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $7,588 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 97 of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 0.6% local, 73.8% state, and 25.6% 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 31/100, ranked #640 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 1192:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 21.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 72.1% African American, 11.2% White, 9.1% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Cornerstone Academy Community School accounts for 100.0% of all Cornerstone Academy Community School student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Cornerstone Academy Community School a distant remainder — means Cornerstone Academy Community School-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.
Cornerstone Academy Community School has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 50.9% 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.
Cornerstone Academy Community School student-counselor ratio is 1192:1 — 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.
Cornerstone Academy Community School chronic absenteeism rate is 21.8% — 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 Cornerstone Academy Community School is typically wider than the Cornerstone Academy Community School-aggregate figure suggests.
