District-Level NCES Analysis
Glasgow operates 2 public schools serving 314 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined 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 Howard County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,408 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 52.0% local, 29.4% state, and 18.6% 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 49/100, ranked #226 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 314.1:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 22.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.8% White, 2.7% African American, 2.0% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Glasgow High, enrolling 188 students (60% of the district's total enrollment).
Glasgow High accounts for 59.9% of all Glasgow student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Glasgow a distant remainder — means Glasgow-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. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Glasgow student-counselor ratio is 314:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Glasgow is typically wider than the Glasgow-aggregate figure suggests.
Glasgow chronic absenteeism rate is 22.9% — 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 Glasgow is typically wider than the Glasgow-aggregate figure suggests.
