District-Level NCES Analysis

Coweta County operates 29 public schools serving 23,200 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Georgia. The school portfolio breaks down into 19 other, 7 middle, 3 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 23,064 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Coweta County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,016 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 49.4% local, 37.9% state, and 12.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $77,361 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 26/100, ranked #191 of 216 in Georgia against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 3 of 29 schools offering Advanced Placement (37 AP courses district-wide), a 459.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 19.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 53.3% White, 24.8% African American, 13.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Coweta County student-counselor ratio is 460:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

Coweta County chronic absenteeism rate is 19.4% — 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 Coweta County is typically wider than the Coweta County-aggregate figure suggests.
