District-Level NCES Analysis
Dadeville R-Ii operates 2 public schools serving 212 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Dade County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,369 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 549 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 43.6% local, 35.4% state, and 21.0% 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 38/100, ranked #307 of 432 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 230.9:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 3.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 99.5% White, 0.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Dadeville Sr. High, enrolling 117 students (54% of the district's total enrollment).
Dadeville Sr. High accounts for 53.9% of all Dadeville R-Ii student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Dadeville R-Ii a distant remainder — means Dadeville R-Ii-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Dadeville R-Ii student-counselor ratio is 231:1 — 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.
Dadeville R-Ii chronic absenteeism rate is 3.7% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
