District-Level NCES Analysis
Holcomb R-Iii operates 2 public schools serving 435 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined 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 Dunklin County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,117 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 29.5% local, 37.2% state, and 33.3% 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 74/100, ranked #50 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.
a 107.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 16.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 83.3% White, 12.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Holcomb Elem., enrolling 235 students (55% of the district's total enrollment).
Holcomb Elem. accounts for 54.0% of all Holcomb R-Iii student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Holcomb R-Iii a distant remainder — means Holcomb R-Iii-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.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. 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.
Holcomb R-Iii student-counselor ratio is 107:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Holcomb R-Iii chronic absenteeism rate is 16.9% — 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 Holcomb R-Iii is typically wider than the Holcomb R-Iii-aggregate figure suggests.
