District-Level NCES Analysis
Corunna Public Schools operates 4 public schools serving 1,642 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 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 Shiawassee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,629 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 23.2% local, 65.4% state, and 11.4% 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 44/100, ranked #434 of 707 in Michigan against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 517.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 25.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.0% White, 3.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Elsa Meyer Elementary School, with a diversity index of 22.9/100.
Its largest campus is Corunna High School, enrolling 610 students (36% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Nellie Reed Elementary, at 164 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Corunna High School accounts for 36.0% of all Corunna Public Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Corunna Public Schools-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.
Corunna Public Schools school enrollment varies 3.7× across entities
Corunna Public Schools school enrollment ranges from 164 students (lowest) to 610 students (highest), a spread of 446 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.
Corunna Public Schools has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 51.9% 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.
Corunna Public Schools student-counselor ratio is 518:1 — 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.
Corunna Public Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 25.9% — 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 Corunna Public Schools is typically wider than the Corunna Public Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Corunna Public Schools has 4 schools, including 1 combined, 3 elementary. Total enrollment is 1,642 students.
