District-Level NCES Analysis
Hartland Consolidated Schools operates 9 public schools serving 5,162 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 2 combined, 1 middle, 1 high 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 Livingston County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,640 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 34.2% local, 58.2% state, and 7.6% 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 24/100, ranked #680 of 707 in Michigan 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 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (24 AP courses district-wide), a 680:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 52.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.3% White, 4.4% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Legacy High School, with a diversity index of 26.0/100.
Its largest campus is Hartland High School, enrolling 1,610 students (32% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Hartland Virtual Academy, at 22 students, a 73x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Hartland High School accounts for 31.2% of all Hartland Consolidated Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Hartland Consolidated Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Hartland Consolidated Schools school enrollment varies 73× across entities
Hartland Consolidated Schools school enrollment ranges from 22 students (lowest) to 1,610 students (highest), a spread of 1,588 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Hartland Consolidated Schools student-counselor ratio is 680:1 — 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.
Hartland Consolidated Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 52.7% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
