District-Level NCES Analysis
Fredonia operates 4 public schools serving 658 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 elementary, 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 Wilson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,748 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 286 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 15.1% local, 75.5% state, and 9.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 58/100, ranked #93 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 401.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 13.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.2% White, 6.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Fredonia Early Learning Center, with a diversity index of 27.0/100.
Its largest campus is Fredonia Jr./Sr. High School, enrolling 314 students (48% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Fredonia Virtual Academy, at 1 students, a 314x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Fredonia Jr./Sr. High School accounts for 47.7% of all Fredonia student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Fredonia a distant remainder — means Fredonia-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.
Fredonia school enrollment varies 314× across entities
Fredonia school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 314 students (highest), a spread of 313 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Fredonia student-counselor ratio is 401:1 — 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.
Fredonia chronic absenteeism rate is 13.7% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
