District-Level NCES Analysis
Greenwood School District operates 6 public schools serving 3,956 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Arkansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 2 elementary, 1 combined, 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 Sebastian County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,430 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 255 Arkansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Arkansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 38.8% local, 46.4% state, and 14.8% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 13/100, ranked #247 of 250 in Arkansas 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 2 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 510.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 13.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 78.4% White, 8.2% Hispanic or Latino, 1.8% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is East Hills Middle School, with a diversity index of 39.4/100.
Its largest campus is Greenwood High School, enrolling 1,161 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Greenwood Freshman Center, at 298 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Greenwood High School accounts for 27.5% of all Greenwood School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Greenwood School District-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.
Greenwood School District school enrollment varies 3.9× across entities
Greenwood School District school enrollment ranges from 298 students (lowest) to 1,161 students (highest), a spread of 863 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.
Greenwood School District student-counselor ratio is 511:1 — 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.
Greenwood School District chronic absenteeism rate is 13.5% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
