District-Level NCES Analysis
Crockett County operates 5 public schools serving 2,004 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Tennessee. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Crockett County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,616 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 141 Tennessee districts by per-pupil spending. See how Tennessee compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 17.0% local, 62.3% state, and 20.7% 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 49/100, ranked #32 of 140 in Tennessee against a state average of 38, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 408.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 10.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 69.2% White, 16.2% Hispanic or Latino, 10.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Friendship Elementary, with a diversity index of 54.8/100.
Its largest campus is Crockett County High School, enrolling 879 students (45% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Friendship Elementary, at 117 students, a 8x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Crockett County High School accounts for 43.9% of all Crockett County student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Crockett County-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.
Crockett County school enrollment varies 7.5× across entities
Crockett County school enrollment ranges from 117 students (lowest) to 879 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.
Crockett County student-counselor ratio is 409:1 — 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.
Crockett County chronic absenteeism rate is 10.7% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Crockett County has 5 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 3 combined. Total enrollment is 2,004 students.
