District-Level NCES Analysis

Crawford County Community Sch Corp operates 6 public schools serving 1,344 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,235 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Crawford County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,322 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 22.7% local, 58.6% state, and 18.8% 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 $65,387 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 77/100, ranked #24 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 318:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 40.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 96.0% White, 1.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.3% African American across the district's schools.

Crawford County High School accounts for 29.9% of all Crawford County Community Sch Corp student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Crawford County Community Sch Corp-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.

Crawford County Community Sch Corp has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 61.8% 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.

Crawford County Community Sch Corp student-counselor ratio is 318:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

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 Variation between sub-units within Crawford County Community Sch Corp is typically wider than the Crawford County Community Sch Corp-aggregate figure suggests.

Crawford County Community Sch Corp chronic absenteeism rate is 40.1% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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