The funding mix is 38.2% local, 47.8% state, and 13.9% 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 $144,172 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.

a 91:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 29.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.0% White, 16.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Drayton Elementary School accounts for 65.9% of all DRAYTON 19 student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means DRAYTON 19-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

DRAYTON 19 student-counselor ratio is 91:1 — 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.

DRAYTON 19 chronic absenteeism rate is 29.9% — 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 DRAYTON 19 is typically wider than the DRAYTON 19-aggregate figure suggests.
