District-Level NCES Analysis
Franklin City operates 7 public schools serving 2,556 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 1 combined, 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 Warren County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,597 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 981 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 48.8% local, 32.8% state, and 18.4% 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 57/100, ranked #233 of 821 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 990.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 19.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 80.1% White, 4.8% African American, 4.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is William C Schenck Elementary School, with a diversity index of 39.5/100.
Its largest campus is Franklin High School, enrolling 676 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is William C Schenck Elementary School, at 212 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Franklin High School accounts for 26.4% of all Franklin City student enrollment
That concentration means Franklin 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. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Franklin City school enrollment varies 3.2× across entities
Franklin City school enrollment ranges from 212 students (lowest) to 676 students (highest), a spread of 464 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.
Franklin City student-counselor ratio is 991:1 — 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.
Franklin City chronic absenteeism rate is 19.1% — 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 Franklin City is typically wider than the Franklin City-aggregate figure suggests.
Franklin City has 7 schools, including 1 combined, 1 middle, 5 elementary. Total enrollment is 2,556 students.
