District-Level NCES Analysis
Fox C-6 operates 18 public schools serving 10,707 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 11 elementary, 4 middle, 2 high, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Jefferson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,793 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 549 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 52.6% local, 39.1% state, and 8.3% 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 37/100, ranked #308 of 432 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 18 schools offering Advanced Placement (43 AP courses district-wide), a 426:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 22.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.1% White, 5.1% Hispanic or Latino, 1.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is George Guffey Elem., with a diversity index of 45.3/100.
Its largest campus is Seckman Sr. High, enrolling 1,737 students (17% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Don Earl Early Childhood Ctr., at 125 students, a 14x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Seckman Sr. High accounts for 16.2% of all Fox C-6 student enrollment
That concentration means Fox C-6-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.
Fox C-6 school enrollment varies 14× across entities
Fox C-6 school enrollment ranges from 125 students (lowest) to 1,737 students (highest), a spread of 1,612 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Fox C-6 student-counselor ratio is 426:1 — 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.
Fox C-6 chronic absenteeism rate is 22.8% — 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 Fox C-6 is typically wider than the Fox C-6-aggregate figure suggests.
Fox C-6 has 18 schools, including 2 high, 4 middle, 11 elementary, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 10,707 students.
