District-Level NCES Analysis
Fort Recovery Local operates 3 public schools serving 1,005 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Mercer County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,461 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 40.9% local, 48.2% state, and 10.9% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 24/100, ranked #726 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 166.2:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 4.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 96.6% White, 2.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.2% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Fort Recovery Middle School, with a diversity index of 7.2/100.
Fort Recovery Elementary School accounts for 51.0% of all Fort Recovery Local student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Fort Recovery Local a distant remainder — means Fort Recovery Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Fort Recovery Local school enrollment varies 2.7× across entities
Fort Recovery Local school enrollment ranges from 190 students (lowest) to 513 students (highest), a spread of 323 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.
Fort Recovery Local student-counselor ratio is 166:1 — 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.
Fort Recovery Local chronic absenteeism rate is 4.9% — 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.
Fort Recovery Local has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,005 students.
