District-Level NCES Analysis

Goshen Local operates 4 public schools serving 2,794 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 middle, 1 other, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,695 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Clermont County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,703 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 36.5% local, 49.7% state, and 13.8% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $69,107 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 29/100, ranked #679 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (8 AP courses district-wide), a 571.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 28.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.2% White, 4.8% Hispanic or Latino, 3.2% African American across the district's schools.

Goshen High School accounts for 30.3% of all Goshen Local student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Goshen Local-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.

Goshen Local student-counselor ratio is 572:1 — 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.

Goshen Local chronic absenteeism rate is 28.5% — 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 Goshen Local is typically wider than the Goshen Local-aggregate figure suggests.
