District-Level NCES Analysis
Eureka Cud 140 operates 5 public schools serving 1,528 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Illinois. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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 Woodford County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,474 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 848 Illinois districts by per-pupil spending. See how Illinois compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 57.6% local, 33.7% state, and 8.6% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 19/100, ranked #714 of 763 in Illinois against a state average of 38, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 558.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 8.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Its most demographically mixed campus is Davenport Elem School, with a diversity index of 21.3/100.
Its largest campus is Eureka High School, enrolling 513 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Goodfield Elem School, at 75 students, a 7x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

That dominant concentration means Eureka Cud 140-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.
Eureka Cud 140 school enrollment varies 6.8× across entities
Eureka Cud 140 school enrollment ranges from 75 students (lowest) to 513 students (highest), a spread of 438 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Eureka Cud 140 student-counselor ratio is 558:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Eureka Cud 140 chronic absenteeism rate is 8.4% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
