District-Level NCES Analysis
Flextech High School operates 1 public schools serving 177 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high 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 Livingston County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,579 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 6.5% local, 76.3% state, and 17.2% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
a 171:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 50.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 80.7% White, 17.0% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Flextech High School, enrolling 171 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Flextech High School accounts for 96.6% of all Flextech High School student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Flextech High School a distant remainder — means Flextech High School-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.
Flextech High School student-counselor ratio is 171:1 — 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.
Flextech High School chronic absenteeism rate is 50.3% — 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.
