District-Level NCES Analysis

Huron School District operates 5 public schools serving 2,541 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,489 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Wayne County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,009 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 31.0% local, 61.8% state, and 7.1% 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 $67,973 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 60/100, ranked #205 of 756 in Michigan against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 266.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 41.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 84.9% White, 6.7% Hispanic or Latino, 3.1% African American across the district's schools.

Huron High School accounts for 32.9% of all Huron School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Huron 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.

Huron School District chronic absenteeism rate is 41.5% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
