HUDSON R-IX operates 1 public schools serving 50 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 55 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Bates County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,340 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 53.6% local, 30.6% state, and 15.8% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $84,300 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
a 275:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 1.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 98.2% White, 1.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Hudson Elem. accounts for 100.0% of all HUDSON R-IX student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means HUDSON R-IX-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.
HUDSON R-IX student-counselor ratio is 275:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within HUDSON R-IX is typically wider than the HUDSON R-IX-aggregate figure suggests.
HUDSON R-IX chronic absenteeism rate is 1.8% — 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.
