Genesee Isd operates 5 public schools serving 2,982 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 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 Genesee County.
The funding mix is 35.3% local, 37.8% state, and 26.9% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
and 60.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 63.6% White, 29.3% African American, 2.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Marion D Crouse Instr Center, with a diversity index of 53.8/100.
Its largest campus is Elmer a Knopf Learning Center, enrolling 342 students (53% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Special Education Services, at 19 students, a 18x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Genesee Isd school enrollment varies 18× across entities
Genesee Isd school enrollment ranges from 19 students (lowest) to 342 students (highest), a spread of 323 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.
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Genesee Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 60.0% — 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.
