District-Level NCES Analysis

EMERSON-HUBBARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS operates 3 public schools serving 253 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Nebraska. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 211 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Dixon County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,715 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 73.0% local, 13.7% state, and 13.2% 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 $111,191 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 68/100, ranked #37 of 200 in Nebraska against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 103.7:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 22.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.6% White, 14.5% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% Asian across the district's schools.

Emerson-Hubbard Elementary Sch accounts for 47.4% of all EMERSON-HUBBARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means EMERSON-HUBBARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS-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.

EMERSON-HUBBARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS student-counselor ratio is 104:1 — 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.

EMERSON-HUBBARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS chronic absenteeism rate is 22.5% — 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 EMERSON-HUBBARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS is typically wider than the EMERSON-HUBBARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS-aggregate figure suggests.
