District-Level NCES Analysis

Eufaula City operates 5 public schools serving 6,289 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Alabama. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 elementary 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 Barbour County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,957 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 15 of 147 Alabama districts by per-pupil spending. See how Alabama compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 11.3% local, 68.5% state, and 20.1% 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 45/100, ranked #86 of 146 in Alabama against a state average of 51, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (12 AP courses district-wide), a 488.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 16.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 52.9% African American, 31.4% White, 12.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Its largest campus is Alabama Virtual Academy at Eufaula City Schools, enrolling 6,104 students (72% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Eufaula Elementary School, at 471 students, a 13x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Alabama Virtual Academy at Eufaula City Schools accounts for 72.5% of all Eufaula City student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Eufaula City a distant remainder — means Eufaula City-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.

Eufaula City school enrollment varies 13× across entities

Eufaula City school enrollment ranges from 471 students (lowest) to 6,104 students (highest), a spread of 5,633 students.

Eufaula City reports 64.9% free-lunch eligibility

The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.

Eufaula City student-counselor ratio is 488:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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

Eufaula City chronic absenteeism rate is 16.8% — 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 Eufaula City is typically wider than the Eufaula City-aggregate figure suggests.
