District-Level NCES Analysis
Greater Jasper Consolidated Schs operates 4 public schools serving 3,273 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Dubois County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,317 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 406 Indiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Indiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 33.4% local, 50.4% state, and 16.2% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 36/100, ranked #277 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (15 AP courses district-wide), a 630.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 8.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.8% White, 20.4% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Jasper Elementary School, with a diversity index of 51.4/100.
Its largest campus is Jasper High School, enrolling 1,103 students (33% of the district's total enrollment).
Jasper High School accounts for 32.6% of all Greater Jasper Consolidated Schs student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Greater Jasper Consolidated Schs-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.
Greater Jasper Consolidated Schs school enrollment varies 2.0× across entities
Greater Jasper Consolidated Schs school enrollment ranges from 548 students (lowest) to 1,103 students (highest), a spread of 555 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Greater Jasper Consolidated Schs student-counselor ratio is 630:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Greater Jasper Consolidated Schs chronic absenteeism rate is 8.5% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
