District-Level NCES Analysis
East Liverpool City operates 6 public schools serving 1,941 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 1 high, 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 Columbiana County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,113 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 17.7% local, 63.3% state, and 19.1% 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 55/100, ranked #248 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 321:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 51.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 80.2% White, 4.6% African American, 3.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is North Elementary School, with a diversity index of 38.3/100.
East Liverpool High School accounts for 29.6% of all East Liverpool City student enrollment
That dominant concentration means East Liverpool City-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.
East Liverpool City school enrollment varies 10.0× across entities
East Liverpool City school enrollment ranges from 58 students (lowest) to 578 students (highest), a spread of 520 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
East Liverpool City student-counselor ratio is 321:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within East Liverpool City is typically wider than the East Liverpool City-aggregate figure suggests.
East Liverpool City chronic absenteeism rate is 51.2% — 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.
East Liverpool City has 6 schools, including 1 high, 4 elementary, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 1,941 students.
