District-Level NCES Analysis
Crisp County operates 5 public schools serving 3,575 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Georgia. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 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 Crisp County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,093 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 219 Georgia districts by per-pupil spending. See how Georgia compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 30.3% local, 46.5% state, and 23.2% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 66/100, ranked #59 of 216 in Georgia against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 441.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 45.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 59.8% African American, 27.3% White, 6.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Crisp County Middle School, with a diversity index of 57.9/100.
Its largest campus is Crisp County High School, enrolling 978 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Crisp County Pre-K, at 216 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Crisp County High School accounts for 27.4% of all Crisp County student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Crisp 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. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Crisp County school enrollment varies 4.5× across entities
Crisp County school enrollment ranges from 216 students (lowest) to 978 students (highest), a spread of 762 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.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. 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.
Crisp County student-counselor ratio is 442:1 — 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.
Crisp County chronic absenteeism rate is 45.8% — 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.
Crisp County has 5 schools, including 1 high, 2 elementary, 1 middle, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 3,575 students.
