District-Level NCES Analysis

Per-pupil expenditure runs $27,220 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 99 of 981 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 40.8% local, 50.7% state, and 8.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
a 217:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 49.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 93.1% White, 2.3% Hispanic or Latino, 2.3% African American across the district's schools.
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses grew 2.3% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (177 to 181 students), while the student-teacher ratio tightened by 1.5 students per teacher, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $5,023,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 56.3% went to instruction, 36.4% to support services, and 3.7% to capital outlay, support-services-heavy relative to typical districts, reflecting spending on transportation, administration, or student services. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
Coshocton County Career Center accounts for 100.0% of all Coshocton County student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Coshocton County a distant remainder — means Coshocton County-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Coshocton County reports 76.8% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Coshocton County student-counselor ratio is 217:1 — 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.
Coshocton County chronic absenteeism rate is 49.8% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Coshocton County has 1 school, including 1 high. Total enrollment is 177 students.
