District-Level NCES Analysis

East Liverpool City operates 6 public schools serving 1,941 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 1 high, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,952 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Columbiana County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,456 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 17.7% local, 63.3% state, and 19.1% 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 $85,294 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 54/100, ranked #269 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 321:1 student-counselor ratio, 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.

East Liverpool High School accounts for 29.6% of all East Liverpool City student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — 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 chronic absenteeism rate is 51.2% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
