District-Level NCES Analysis
Cusd 201 operates 5 public schools serving 1,327 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Illinois. 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 Dupage County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $26,265 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 85 of 848 Illinois districts by per-pupil spending. See how Illinois compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 70.6% local, 24.5% state, and 5.0% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 45/100, ranked #221 of 763 in Illinois against a state average of 38, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (16 AP courses district-wide), a 197.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 17.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 54.2% White, 26.3% Hispanic or Latino, 7.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is C E Miller Elem School, with a diversity index of 64.9/100.
Its largest campus is Westmont High School, enrolling 395 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is South School, at 53 students, a 7x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Westmont High School accounts for 29.7% of all Cusd 201 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Cusd 201-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.
Cusd 201 school enrollment varies 7.5× across entities
Cusd 201 school enrollment ranges from 53 students (lowest) to 395 students (highest), a spread of 342 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.
Cusd 201 student-counselor ratio is 198:1 — 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.
Cusd 201 chronic absenteeism rate is 17.9% — 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 Cusd 201 is typically wider than the Cusd 201-aggregate figure suggests.
