District-Level NCES Analysis
Grandview C-4 operates 8 public schools serving 3,689 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Jackson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,435 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 64.9% local, 22.1% state, and 13.0% 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 60/100, ranked #140 of 433 in Missouri 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 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 310.9:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 39.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 41.8% African American, 33.7% Hispanic or Latino, 15.0% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Meadowmere Elem., with a diversity index of 71.0/100.
Its largest campus is Grandview Sr. High, enrolling 1,203 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is High Grove Early Childhood, at 132 students, a 9x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Grandview Sr. High accounts for 32.6% of all Grandview C-4 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Grandview C-4-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Grandview C-4 school enrollment varies 9.1× across entities
Grandview C-4 school enrollment ranges from 132 students (lowest) to 1,203 students (highest), a spread of 1,071 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.
Grandview C-4 student-counselor ratio is 311:1 — 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 Grandview C-4 is typically wider than the Grandview C-4-aggregate figure suggests.
Grandview C-4 chronic absenteeism rate is 39.0% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
