District-Level NCES Analysis
Grandview R-Ii operates 4 public schools serving 2,387 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary 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 Jefferson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $3,821 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 56 of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending.

The funding mix is 54.7% local, 34.3% state, and 11.0% 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 25/100, ranked #392 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 202:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 19.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Grandview R-Ii a distant remainder — means Grandview R-Ii-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.
Grandview R-Ii school enrollment varies 28× across entities
Grandview R-Ii school enrollment ranges from 138 students (lowest) to 3,895 students (highest), a spread of 3,757 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas.

Grandview R-Ii student-counselor ratio is 202:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Grandview R-Ii chronic absenteeism rate is 19.8% — 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 Grandview R-Ii is typically wider than the Grandview R-Ii-aggregate figure suggests.
